Susannah Carr is the firm’s Managing Partner. Susannah’s practice focuses on insurance recovery, representing policyholders in disputes against their insurance companies. She represents a wide variety of policyholders, including Fortune 500 companies, local businesses, public entities, and individuals. She is experienced with a full range of policies, such as commercial general liability, management liability/D&O, employment practices liability, professional liability, business property, and homeowners. Susannah has successfully obtained numerous multi-million dollar recoveries for her clients.
Susannah is among the most experienced policyholder lawyers in the Northwest for complex “long tail” claims—securing coverage for environmental property damage and asbestos bodily injury liabilities resulting from business operations occurring decades ago. She has assisted her clients in securing tens of millions of dollars in insurance proceeds for such losses, often after leading an “insurance archaeology” effort resulting in the discovery and reconstruction of previously missing policies.
Before entering private practice, Susannah served as clerk to the Hon. Anne L. Ellington of the Washington State Court of Appeals. She is licensed to practice in Washington.
