Overview

In the increasingly complex world of insurance matters, coverage issues can present a challenge. At HBS, our Insurance Practice Group helps define the issues and assists clients in determining their obligations.

About Our Practice

Our experienced team of attorneys has access to an array of experts who can provide valuation and opinions to assist in the evaluation of first-party matters. Should the need arise, we can pursue declaratory judgment or rescission actions to resolve coverage disputes. We frequently represent clients in defense of bad faith actions against insurers.

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 attorneys understand how this unique market works. We utilize these long-standing relationships to assist foreign insurers in managing their domestic litigation.  We also assist 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
• Declaratory judgment actions
• Bad faith defense
