Insurance: Dispute Resolution: Policyholder

Much attorneys take a holistic approach to their insurance coverage practice that encompasses both counseling and advocacy on behalf of clients. The firm's insurance coverage counseling and litigation services are most successful when they work hand in hand.

As dedicated business lawyers, Much attorneys appreciate the ever-changing risk landscape confronting their clients and assist them in planning how to limit those risks. As experienced litigators, Much attorneys are deeply familiar with how insurance companies interpret their policies as well as the methods they use to delay or avoid paying claims. They apply this knowledge, experience, and practical perspective when analyzing and negotiating terms and contracts. This helps contain risks and minimizes the likelihood of future litigation. But when litigation cannot be avoided, the Much team uses its extensive claim and trial experience to obtain the coverage for which clients have paid.

Buying insurance coverage is not a one-time event. Circumstances change, laws are adopted, new risks emerge, and policies are modified. And no matter how vigilant the planning, unexpected events inevitably occur. Insurance policies are complex commercial contracts, and how these contracts are applied depends on skillful interpretation and advocacy. Much attorneys draw upon the lessons learned from years of advocacy to help their clients anticipate – and plan for – the evolving insurance environment.
