Brent Olson understands that insurers with large portfolios of complex claims require counsel that delivers consistency, creativity, and clarity in equal measure.

That is why his insurance clients confidently turn to him for answers to and solutions for their most consequential claims and disputes. They know Brent will provide the thorough analysis and strategic advocacy that leads to positive, expeditious resolutions time and time again.

With a litigation and counseling practice that encompasses a wide range of coverage lines, including directors and officers, professional liability, and other specialty insurance products, Brent has a breadth of experience that allows him to effectively handle new or novel issues. He recognizes that claims don't exist in a vacuum and must be considered in the context of his clients' larger interests. Accordingly, he formulates his guidance based not only on the smallest details but also on the bigger picture.

An experienced litigator, Brent is comfortable at the negotiating table and in the courtroom. What distinguishes Brent is his ability to craft approaches that reach resolutions early in the claim lifecycle. That is a product of his creative and thorough yet expeditious analysis of the facts and legal issues a claim may implicate.

Equally valuable to Brent's clients are his vision and foresight when confronting questions that lack clear answers or relevant precedent. He takes pride in the fact that insurers depend on him when facing such matters, knowing that his careful assessment of likely outcomes and consideration of risks will help his clients chart a superior course.

Insurers can't afford mistakes. They can't afford inefficiency and needless expense, either. That is why I am so focused on consistently getting things right to save my clients time and money.
