A major area in Wilson Elser's professional liability practice is representation of insurance agents and brokers. For more than 25 years, Wilson Elser has litigated disputes throughout the United States involving both domestic and foreign insurance agents and brokers. Wilson Elser has a recognized expertise in this area and an experienced team of attorneys with broad experience in the business practices of all types of insurance intermediaries, including brokers at every level in the broking process from producers to managing general agents. Our attorneys' vast experience in the insurance industry results in effective analysis of the agency relationships between and among the parties and an aggressive defense plan seeking quick dismissals wherever possible. We have defended a broad array of claims asserted and have obtained successful dismissals through not only trial but on pre-answer and summary judgment motions and appeals.
In addition to representing insurance agents and brokers and their errors and omissions insurers, Wilson Elser also provided loss prevention recommendations and educational seminars, including mock trials and continuing professional education seminars. In addition, several partners have published articles on subjects related to insurance agents' and brokers' loss prevention.
Our experience in representing insurance agents and brokers is vast and includes claims against brokers arising from natural catastrophes such as the fires, earthquakes, as well as flood and hurricane losses. We can draw upon the resources and expertise of the entire firm in responding to issues concerning the broad spectrum of coverage including property, casualty, life and all forms of third-party liability policies. Our track record is impeccable and our clients' satisfaction with the result obtained speaks for itself. Our goal is always to satisfy our clients and we utilize all tools available towards that end.
Our firm has represented insurance agents and brokers before various state licensing, regulatory and disciplinary boards. This segment of our practice ranges from assisting with all initial licensing requirements, to defending agents and brokers against serious disciplinary charges which have placed their licenses at risk of loss.
We serve as national coordinating counsel for broker clients and in that role we have selected experienced and competent local representatives, coordinated defense activities, provided a pool and resource of knowledge and experience, and managed nationwide defense and claims resolution to ensure consistent and high quality defense. Our firm's experience in representing agents and brokers' liability has enabled us to arrange an extensive network of expert consultants who can be drawn upon for advice, consulting or to serve as expert witnesses if necessary.
