These services include contract drafting, negotiation, and risk management and analysis. Our attorneys have a strong history of reducing claims exposure by identifying and addressing areas of potential conflict before they become problems or before they result in litigation.
Our attorneys actively share their knowledge of insurance law and coverage with clients through ongoing seminars and workshops and by offering assistance with the drafting of specialized policy language, claims-handling materials and company guidelines. We are proud of our reputation in the area of insurance law. While we take pride in our ability to avoid the expense of unnecessary litigation through the successful use of arbitration, our attorneys stand ready to vigorously defend our clients against all claims using the experience, staff and resources available to us.
