Our Insurance Appeals team integrates national appellate experience with a thorough understanding of insurance coverage issues, policy forms, and insurance industry practices. Each year we handle many insurance appeals involving coverage issues (property, liability and automobile insurance), extra-contractual claims, large jury verdicts, etc. We also regularly file amici curiae briefs on behalf of national insurance industry associations. We have represented clients in all of the regional federal circuit courts of appeal. We have also represented clients before the United States Supreme Court, and state appellate and supreme courts across the country—from New York to California, Washington to Florida.

We represent major insurers throughout the United States, and each member of our team is committed to understanding your business while working closely with your team. Our thorough knowledge and decades of experience with insurance law and the industry enables us to see the big picture and assist our clients to shape the law.

Our Services

We help a wide range of clients with navigating the specific challenges of insurance appeals in various lines of insurance. Insurers also retain us to serve as appellate consultants at trial of large, complex coverage and insurance defense matters, and to represent their insureds in appeals involving legal issues of broad significance or large judgments.

Many of our appeals involve cutting-edge or precedent-setting issues of insurance law that have the potential to affect numerous cases and insurance claims. We’ve handled critical insurance coverage appeals involving the September 11th catastrophe, Hurricane Katrina, Chinese Drywall, labor depreciation, the COVID-19 business interruption insurance litigation, and Washington condominium association litigation, among many other issues. Through our deep knowledge of insurance, we litigate insurance appeals with the aim of synthesizing and shaping the law nationwide.

We write appellate briefs that are succinct, compelling, and easy to read, and prepare thoroughly for oral arguments with moot courts. With our broad knowledge of insurance law, our attorneys handle insurance appeals efficiently, and with strategic perspective on how each insurance case may impact other cases. To enable our clients to achieve cost certainty, we offer a fixed-fee option for appeals. We also bring our experience to bear in persuasively answering unanticipated insurance-related questions and hypotheticals at oral arguments, which may be unfamiliar for generalist appellate lawyers.

We also represent national insurance industry associations as amici curiae in federal and state appellate courts nationwide, preparing amicus briefs that add substantial value to the parties’ briefs and occasionally participating in oral argument.
