Lawyer Liability & Ethics:

Koning Rubarts’ attorneys have more than 40 years of experience handling controversies involving lawyers’ rights and duties. The firm is proud to have represented many of the most prestigious law firms in the country. But whether the client is a “mega-firm” or a solo practitioner, Koning Rubarts' commitment remains the same—to provide the highest quality work, achieve cost-efficient outcomes, exercise sound judgment and the utmost discretion, and maintain an unrelenting focus on client objectives. The firm has successfully handled lawyer liability controversies related to virtually every legal practice area, including patent law, tax, real estate, oil and gas, family law, corporate, construction law, employment law, probate law, banking, and litigation.

In addition to lawyer liability claim and controversy work, lawyers at Koning Rubarts serve as on-call legal ethics and loss prevention advisors for lawyers and law firms on a broad range of matters—everything from conflicts of interest and lawyer mobility issues to litigation financing and cyber security strategy, plus much more. The firm constantly monitors current developments in legal ethics so that our clients can remain focused on their core business.

Insurance Recovery:

Koning Rubarts’ lawyers have more than 30 years of experience enforcing the rights of commercial policyholders when their insurers refuse to pay appropriate compensation for covered losses. The firm prosecutes insurance recovery litigation before all state and federal courts in Texas and in arbitration in a broad range of claims, including multi-million-dollar commercial property losses, business interruptions, directors and officers liability, commercial general liability, and legal costs associated with litigation defense and government investigations. The firm represents a diverse group of small and mid-sized businesses and organizations—convenience store operators, property management companies, retailers, school districts, professional organizations, plus many more. Without the firm's assistance, these clients run the risk of profit-focused insurers undervaluing their claims or dodging them altogether.

• Koning Rubarts' lawyers have substantial experience in intellectual property matters, including patent, copyright, trade dress, and trade secret matters. The firm also handles technology, employment, and commercial disputes with intellectual property components, as well as negotiation and counseling relating to the sale or monetization of intellectual property assets.
