Practice Groups: Insurance Coverage

Overview

In the increasingly complex world of insurance matters, coverage issues can present a challenge. At HBSS, our Insurance practice group can help define the issues and assist clients in determining their obligations. Should the need arise, we can pursue declaratory judgment or rescission actions to resolve coverage disputes. We also frequently represent clients in defense of bad faith actions against insurers.

Our experienced team also has access to an array of experts that can provide valuation and opinions to assist in the evaluation of first-party matters.

Our attorneys have extensive experience working with brokers, underwriters and claim professionals in the international insurance market, particularly with Lloyds of London. Our firm has handled many matters on behalf of various Syndicates at Lloyds, and our attorney's understand how this unique market works. We utilize these long-standing relationships to assist foreign insurers to managing their domestic litigation, as well as assisting domestic clients to gain access to the Lloyds market.

We represent clients in state and federal courts across the country in almost every facet of insurance coverage, including:

• Legal opinions
• Rescission actions
