Our Property Insurance Coverage Litigation practice group regularly handles some of the most complex property and business interruption insurance cases nationwide. We have been at the vanguard of almost every cutting-edge coverage battle fought in the past two decades.
We have substantial trial and appellate experience in cases involving all aspects of property insurance claims, including disputes under layered and quota-share excess programs, class actions, market conduct litigation, and other complex litigation. Members of our Insurance + Reinsurance practice group also regularly advise and represent insurer clients in appraisals and arbitrations arising from disputed claims. We are adept at assisting with fraud investigations, and advise clients with regard to coverage for pending claims.
Our Services
Our Property Insurance Coverage Litigation services include:
- Assisting with fraud investigations
- Defense of complex litigation arising from property damage and business interruption losses
- Counseling insurers on claim handling practices
- Coverage advice
- Representations in appraisals and arbitrations
- Taking examinations under oath
Our team of property insurance has the depth and breadth of experience and knowledge required to address the unique issues and challenges of each case. We are adept at isolating the issues and developing the evidence in discovery that will support a dispositive motion. Where cases cannot be resolved at summary judgment, our team is ready and qualified to defend them through trial, and on appeal if necessary.
Because many lawsuits involving property insurance and business interruption claims also include allegations of bad faith and unfair insurance claims practices, we have extensive experience defending extra-contractual claims asserted against property insurers.
Our Team
Our Property Insurance Coverage Litigation team includes nationally recognized trial lawyers who have an unparalleled command of coverage law. Two of our partners are Fellows of the American College of Coverage and Extracontractual Counsel. As a whole, our team of lawyers lead the field of property insurance law. We keep our clients alerted to developments in property insurance.

We are also members of the International Association of Defense Counsel (IADC), and we serve as regular panelists at meetings of the Loss Executives Association (LEA), and the Property and Liability Research Bureau (PLRB). Several of our attorneys have developed and taught the course on Property Insurance Law which is taught as part of both the J.D. and the Insurance LL.M. programs at the University of Connecticut School of Law's Insurance Law Center.
