Megge's practice focuses on resolving insurance coverage issues for insurance carriers, both through negotiation and litigation. Megge's 30 years of practice—the last 20 years focusing exclusively on the insurance industry—gives her the experience to evaluate claims and cases and provide clients with effective representation in coverage determinations and litigation decisions. Megge has experience handling first and third-party coverage issues, surety claims and environmental matters. She has worked to settle million-dollar claims and has obtained summary judgment for her clients in state and federal courts in both Oregon and Washington. She also has experience negotiating with regulatory agencies, responding to requests for information and successfully navigating the filing process.
Before coming to Bullivant in 1992, Megge was in-house claims counsel at the corporate headquarters for St. Paul Fire and Marine Insurance Company. Prior to that, she was a partner in a large Minneapolis law firm.
