Directors and Officers Insurance

Our D&O practice encompasses a broad and comprehensive range of services, including:

• Assisting clients in evaluating and making coverage determinations. We regularly analyze coverage issues, prepare coverage analyses and opinions, and draft coverage correspondence.
• Formulating and implementing strategies for the effective resolution of claims. We are involved in all aspects of the claim process, including analyzing and assessing liability and exposure issues, monitoring underlying litigation, representing clients at mediations, and participating in settlement negotiations.
• Representing clients in both the defense and prosecution of coverage actions. We have been involved in litigation, in state and federal courts, involving a variety of coverage-related issues including rescission, notice and reporting issues, related claims questions, and insured-versus-insured and other exclusions. 
• Assisting clients in the drafting of D&O policy forms and endorsements.

In addition to collaborating with insurer clients to forge cost-effective resolution strategies, we also have litigated virtually every recurring coverage issue common to D&O policies including claims-made, rescission, related claims, no loss, bump-up, prior knowledge, prior notice, insured v. insured, late notice, consent to settle, allocation, and many others.
