About

Provided by Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP

Hunton’s insurance coverage practice helps policyholders maximize recoveries through insurance program reviews, claims presentation and negotiation, litigation, alternative dispute resolution, trials, and appeals. This year alone, we have recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for clients ranging from global brands to privately held businesses.

Since 2021, Hunton has recovered more than $2 billion for policyholders. Our track record includes complex, high-stakes recoveries in litigation and arbitration where other policyholder lawyers have faltered. Our ability to step in, recalibrate, and deliver results in sensitive disputes reinforces our reputation as the firm clients call when the outcome matters most.

We also secure substantial recoveries without litigation. In the past year, we recovered more than $150 million for an AmLaw 200 law firm, several colleges and universities, a major airline, an oil refinery, and a national automotive services provider.

Hunton is also a global cyber insurance leader. Working closely with the firm’s top-ranked privacy and cybersecurity practice, we have handled major breaches and ransomware attacks since 2019, including the largest attack on critical infrastructure in US history, and serve as lead cyber insurance coverage counsel for three of the five largest US asset managers. We also advise C-suite executives and boards worldwide, from risk management through claims resolution, to maximize recovery and achieve client goals.
