About

Provided by Miles & Stockbridge PC

Miles & Stockbridge's insurance practice advises policyholders and pursues claims under virtually all lines of coverage, including D&O, E&O, Reps & Warranties, CGL, Property, Business Interruption, Cyber, Crime, Event Cancellation, and other specialty lines of coverage.

Our strength is in our numbers and the diversity of insurance coverage matters on which we are always working for policyholders. We have a small team of dedicated coverage lawyers that prides itself on efficiency, creativity, analysis and, most importantly, major insurance recoveries for all types of policyholder clients faced with complex claims. We are always working on insurance claims for a wide variety of clients under many lines of coverage. This gives us a unique perspective and allows us to tailor and develop claim-specific strategies that maximize insurance recoveries.

We represent policyholders in disputes over the denial of insurance coverage in a variety of contexts. Because these disputes often involve class action or classic mass tort litigation, we regularly work to reconcile the sometimes-inconsistent defense goals and long-term objectives of our clients with the sometimes-shortsighted settlement strategies that some carriers prefer, and are adept at reconciling defense strategies when multiple carriers are involved.
