Career

Greg Van Houten is a high-stakes commercial litigator who focuses on representing corporate plaintiffs in insurance-related matters. He only represents policyholders—not insurance companies. In addition to his litigation work, he advises clients during insurance renewals on optimal insurance policy wording and during M&A transactions that involve complex insurance issues. As a former high school physics teacher who graduated with highest distinction in economics, Greg has the unique ability to distill complicated issues to their essence, persuasively and efficiently. Using that same skillset, he founded www.PolicyholderPlaybook.com -- a bi-weekly blog highlighting the best techniques used by the best insurance policyholder advocates.

Greg’s work is not limited to insurance matters. He has a diverse litigation background, as he has litigated cases involving malpractice and professional negligence, commercial contracts, and employment. He also has secured a number of victories for pro bono clients, including a class action settlement involving employment discrimination-related issues that led to nationwide change. Greg’s pro bono work is an important part of his practice which can be seen through his participation in the firm’s Pro Bono committee.

Greg earned his law degree from the Georgetown University Law Center, where he won the Greenhalgh Trial Advocacy Tournament and received the International Academy of Trial Lawyers 2015 Student Advocacy Award.

Before pursuing his law degree, Greg was a member of Teach for America. With Teach for America, he taught high school physics and coached varsity baseball at a charter school in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He was awarded “Best New Teacher” in 2011 and delivered the commencement address to the 2013 graduating class.
