Litigation / Coverage & Commercial

Our firm has a deep bench of litigators who have successfully represented domestic and foreign clients in courts across the United States and in arbitrations around the globe. Our litigators include lawyers who are alumni of Big Law, the United States Department of Justice and FINRA and former in-house counsel. We have seen all sides of litigation and handled cases through trial and appeal, working collaboratively with our clients and drawing on our rich and varied experience to guide clients through each phase of litigation and dispute resolution.
 
  • Our Coverage Litigation attorneys are well known for their experience and success in representing insurers in coverage and bad faith litigation. We are proud of our reputation for skilled representation in challenging cases often involving unique or complex coverage issues and policy limit or extra-contractual exposures. Our comprehensive understanding of insurance coverage, claims handling and underwriting give us a unique perspective when litigating a declaratory judgment or bad faith action or pursuing subrogation on behalf of our clients.
  • Our Commercial Litigation attorneys are equally well regarded for representing non-insurance financial companies, including broker-dealers and hedge funds, and a variety of public and private companies. Our financial service representation includes a wide range of complex commercial, regulatory, and civil fraud disputes and investigations. We have also successfully represented manufacturers, distributors, technology companies, hospitality companies and professional service organizations in many complex commercial, financial, and tort cases, including cases involving questions of first impression or “bet-the-company” situations.

We approach each case with a single goal - finding the best resolution for our client given the client’s business needs, objectives and values, the regulatory and legal climate, and each case’s unique challenges - while delivering cost-efficient and creative strategies. Clients trust us to handle high profile cases involving novel issues and large stakes. Judges, arbitrators and other lawyers recognize us as dedicated advocates with a track record for successful representation. While we strive to identify opportunities for early resolution, our experienced trial lawyers can and will take cases to trial when necessary.
