About

Provided by Adams & Reese

Recognized by prestigious national publications and attorney rating services, the Adams and Reese insurance team provides effective and efficient counsel on all three major insurance-related fronts: coverage, defense and regulatory. Our firm has an appellate team that represents clients in high-profile, high-exposure coverage disputes, often being called into a case at the appeal stage.


Our attorneys offer strategic counsel by helping insurance providers and self-insured clients assess and control risk and, when it makes sense, steer clear of litigation or quickly dispense with claims. When it’s best for our clients, we turn to alternative dispute resolution measures to work out differences. We have represented insurers against multimillion-dollar property damage claims brought by large policyholders in the wake of hurricanes and natural disasters. We have defended and earned favorable outcomes for many of the major insurance companies in claims involving management, professional, commercial, cyber, marine, school leader and public entity policies.
