Our insurance coverage attorneys have extensive experience defending insurers in the highly complex and rapidly evolving area of insurance coverage. Our insurance coverage defense lawyers are frequently called upon to provide insurers with coverage opinions on a wide array of policies, including commercial automobile and trucking, commercial general liability, directors and officers liability, employment practices liability, first party property, homeowners, life insurance and excess and umbrella coverage. Our attorneys' preparation of such coverage opinions have enabled them to develop an extensive familiarity with insurance policy clauses and the interpretation and application of such clauses.

In addition to preparing coverage opinions, our attorneys actively litigate these issues in state and federal courts throughout New York State. Our attorneys frequently represent insurers in declaratory judgment actions against both insureds and other insurance carriers. Recognizing that protracted litigation may have a devastating financial impact upon our clients, we attempt to dispose of litigations matters in the most expeditious and economical manner through the use of dispositive motions and alternative dispute resolution.

Our insurance coverage defensive lawyers include attorneys who have devoted their entire careers to insurance coverage matters and have earned a reputation as being the most highly skilled and successful practitioners in this highly complex area.
