Provided by Lowenstein Sandler LLP
Since the 1980s, the Lowenstein Sandler Insurance Recovery group has represented corporate and governmental policyholders and has obtained billions of dollars in insurance recoveries. We strategically untangle the complex web of insurance issues that businesses face in today's global economy, from policy audits to claim negotiation to high-stakes coverage litigation.
We seek to resolve insurance disputes quickly and efficiently. When insurance companies refuse to settle claims reasonably, we are ready to force them to provide coverage. Our team has litigated hundreds of cases in more than 40 states. We have extensive experience with dispute resolution and adeptly counsel clients through mediation and arbitration proceedings. Our litigation strategies are designed to expedite early resolution and to minimize the interruption of a company's daily business operations.
Our lawyers are more than insurance coverage litigators. We advise our clients on pre- and post-loss insurance disputes, conduct insurance policy audits, provide insurance input on master service agreements and other contractual documents, assist with policy purchases and renewals, and perform insurance due diligence in the context of corporate transactions and bankruptcy proceedings.
