INSURANCE COVERAGE ANALYSIS & COUNSEL
Coverage questions require thorough analysis and, usually, a prompt response. My insurance company clients count on me to provide complete coverage file handling, from the first call with a coverage question, to the claim's ultimate resolution. I am very responsive, and function well as insurers' "outside" in-house counsel. Though I am based and licensed in Washington, I am also licensed in Oregon (inactive), Texas (inactive) and Colorado (inactive). I have assisted large domestic and international insurers with coverage and bad faith questions presented in venues across the United States.
If your company needs a seasoned coverage lawyer to provide a comprehensive coverage opinion, draft a Reservation of Rights letter or other correspondence to respond to a coverage demand or bad faith threat in Washington, I can help.
I am well-versed in all third party liability coverage issues, including duty to defend/indemnify arising from CGL, E&O/D&O, healthcare/professional malpractice, financial lines, excess/umbrella, construction defect, additional insured issues, SIR disputes, interinsurer/reinsurer coverage and complex allocation/contribution issues (including fee audits), and homeowner liability claims, among others. I also have significant experience handling the complicated coverage issues unique to high/ultra-high-net-worth individuals and their families/businesses.
If you represent an insurance company looking for a responsive coverage lawyer you can treat as in-house counsel, then the help you need is just a phone call away.
