Insurance and risk management
· Commercial Transactions and General Corporate: We have broad experience in commercial transactions, including:
· Insurance: Insurance is an area where we can offer clients a wealth of experience and depth of understanding. We have litigated over 75 insurance coverage cases, drafted insurance policies and been an expert consultant and witness on insurance coverage. We served as outside general counsel to a major insurance industry reinsurance pool, and are currently serving as outside general counsel to an emerging company in the health insurance field. We recently helped design a special insurance program for mold inspectors and assisted in drafting an insurance policy for pet insurance. Working with experienced actuaries and accountants we can assist clients in evaluating and establishing alternative risk transfer strategies such as captives and risk retention groups.
· Policies and Procedures: We also have extensive experience in drafting and implementing company policies and procedures for activities, such as product safety, contracting and sales.
· Litigation: We offer decades of litigation experience across a wide range of civil matters. Our goal is finding prompt solutions and minimizing the cost. We adhere to the principles of our judgment focused litigation management process, which focuses on consistently making decisions across the litigation process that promote resolution and minimize costs.
· ADR: We also provide arbitration and mediation services, either as counsel for the client in a particular matter or as an arbitrator or mediator for companies that are not clients. In either case, we have the general legal and specific arbitration and mediation experience to provide value.
