We have extensive knowledge and experience litigating life, health, disability, long term care, and annuity matters. Over the past 25 years, we have successfully handled cases involving, among other things: claim disputes; coverage issues; provider disputes; ERISA; STOLI disputes; rescissions; overpayment and subrogation claims; premium and commission disputes; stop loss, reinsurance and agent contracts; regulatory and compliance matters; network provider agreements; and prompt pay and clean claim statutes. We also have defended numerous insurance clients in class action cases involving policyholder, agent commission, premium calculation, claims handling, contract, ERISA, annuity, association, and regulatory disputes.

Our lawyers also have extensive experience representing and counseling title insurance companies, and their insureds, on a wide range of issues. These include both coverage disputes and title curative actions. The firm also defends title insurers in first party actions involving allegations of wrongful claim denials, bad faith, closing errors, mortgage fraud, regulatory matters, and agent disputes. In all areas of our insurance practice, the firm’s services also include pre-litigation counseling on a variety of issues, as well as providing seminars to our clients and industry groups on emerging topics.
