Insurance Recovery, Cyber Insurance Recovery, Climate Change and Disaster Recovery, Corporate and Commercial Litigation

Pamela D. Hans, the managing shareholder of the firm's Philadelphia office, concentrates her practice in insurance recovery. Her practice currently focuses on advising commercial clients on insurance coverage for cyber liabilities, as well as property, casualty, and professional liability matters. Pam's clients include Fortune 500 Companies in the energy, mining, and construction industries, as well as commercial lenders and other commercial policyholders .

In addition to her law degree, Pam holds Bachelor and Master of Science Degrees in Civil Engineering from the University of Manitoba. Her focus in those studies was the energy industry, particularly hydroelectric dams and their environmental impacts, as well as performance testing and protocols to measure and improve the efficiency of generation

Pam’s client-first approach carries through all matters that she handles, whether for Fortune 500 Companies, energy and mining companies, construction companies, manufacturing companies, private schools, or religious organizations. For example, when a Canadian energy company faced an eight-figure loss, she understood the technical issues and business impact of that matter and won precent-setting decisions on business interruption coverage and attorney-client privilege.

When a U.S. mining operation experienced a catastrophic workplace accident, she understood not only the insurance coverage, but also the contractual requirement and worked with all parties to reach a resolution. When an educational institution faced abuse claims, she was able to guide the institution through the defense of the matter and assist in reaching a resolution of all claims. Pam always puts her clients' interests and goals at the center of every representation.

Pam is a Fellow of the American College of Coverage Counsel. In addition to Chambers USA, she is recognized by The Legal 500 US for Insurance-Advice to policyholders, and Best Lawyers®. Law360 identified her as a Legal Lion for a $58M Appeals Court Win for TransCanada Energy and as a 2014 Female Powerbroker.

Pam was a law clerk to the Honorable Judge Donald F. Campbell in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Ocean County.
