Insurance: Insurer

About

Provided by Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton LLP

Sheppard represents insurance companies nationwide in coverage disputes, bad faith claims and class action litigation.   Our Insurance team offers unparalleled trial experience and a track record of published decisions establishing favorable law for the insurance industry. 

We help carriers proactively minimize extra-contractual risk during the pre-litigation stage by advising on coverage issues and guiding claim handlers through time-limit settlement demands and other challenges. When litigation arises, we aggressively defend carriers in bad faith lawsuits, high-value coverage disputes and class actions.

Our trial lawyers have delivered defense verdicts in over 100 jury and bench trials. Insurers often parachute our team into high-exposure cases across the country—often involving tens or hundreds of millions of dollars in potential liability. They rely on our ability to craft creative arguments, reduce risk and, when necessary, help establish new precedent that benefits the broader industry.
