Everett draws on his extensive trial experience and deep understanding of insurance and reinsurance issues to help his clients achieve successful outcomes.

Career

Everett is a trial lawyer who has represented domestic and global insurance and reinsurance companies (cedents and reinsurers) over the last 25 years in exceptionally complex, high-exposure cases before both trial courts and arbitration panels. Everett’s trials for these clients include a vast array of property and casualty and life and health issues.

Beyond his work for reinsurers, insurance companies call on Everett to litigate sophisticated declaratory judgment actions concerning estoppel, lost policies, and advertising injury. They entrust him with complex issues of first impression, including the attempted importation of the continuous trigger theory into molestation coverage cases. Everett has successfully litigated leading cases relating to the Federal Arbitration Act, confidentiality, and the conduct of arbitrators and umpires.
