INSURANCE COVERAGE

Insurers need protection too. Bullivant Houser has built a strong reputation as a West Coast leader in insurance law, representing many of the largest insurers over several decades. We bring that institutional and industry knowledge when advising clients on ways to stay out of court in the first place and when resolving complex disputes as they arise.

We serve insurance and reinsurance companies doing business in a highly regulated environment that continues to evolve. They turn to us when they need attorneys fluent in specific types of policies to guide them through coverage claims and lawsuits. We are at the forefront of changes affecting our clients and have a solid grasp of coverage nuances.

Clients tell us they work with us because we understand their unique business needs and the climate in which they operate. We work with underwriting departments to draft policies and handle regulatory compliance matters. When an issue comes up, clients can count on us for a prompt, accurate and candid assessment without surprises down the road. We help them weigh the risks and rewards of their options and customize solutions to resolve cases as quickly as possible, either through settlement or trial.

Staunch advocates through coverage litigation

Bullivant’s experienced trial attorneys have defended multi-million-dollar lawsuits and bring well-honed courtroom skills. Many of our attorneys have served as mediators, appraisers, umpires, and arbitrators and bring that valuable perspective to each case. We advocate fiercely for our clients to defend against bad faith, extra-contractual and other tort claims. We defend class actions and multi-district litigation as well as individual claim disputes. Our team is mindful of the risks and costs of a particular case and potential far-reaching effects of a decision on the insurance industry as a whole.
