We recognize that insurance is an important, but complex, tool to manage risk. Pierce Atwood attorneys regularly work with clients to understand and evaluate the terms of many types of insurance policies, and develop strategies to efficiently and economically achieve their goals. When disputes over insurance coverage arise, the litigators in our Insurance Practice Group have significant experience representing both insureds and insurers in large-scale and complex insurance coverage matters in state and federal courts around the country. Even in lawsuits where the terms of insurance are not the focus of the dispute, insurance coverage frequently plays an important practical role in the handling and resolution of a case. Our insurance coverage litigators are able to draw on their deep understanding both of complex insurance coverage concepts, as well as of the insurance industry, to accomplish our client’s goals. In a recent example, Pierce Atwood was able to convince a client’s insurer to reverse its decision and pay the legal fees to defend the client from a customer’s lawsuit, and eventually, through a separate lawsuit, persuade the court to order the insurer to fully indemnify our client for all of its losses in the underlying lawsuit.
