Linde is chair of Perkins Coie’s Insurance Recovery practice and a leading national insurance coverage litigator who has led some of the largest insurance recovery cases in federal and state courts throughout the country under almost every area of coverage: directors and officers, commercial general lability, cyber/privacy, property, employment, errors and omissions, construction, and sports and entertainment policies. Selena is a forceful advocate and has recovered more than $4 billion for her clients during her more than 26-year career and clients and boards rely on her when the stakes are high to both advise and litigate coverage issues against insurance companies. She also advises boards on insurance issues and risk management strategies and is regularly hired in high profile bankruptcies and by post-bankruptcy trusts to maximize the coverage available to the debtors’ estates, creditors’ committees, and trust beneficiaries. In 2020, she won a precedent-setting U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit decision for Zillow on claims-made policies and is currently representing clients in insurance matters in more than 30 states.
