As the risk scenarios covered under D&O insurance have expanded in number and complexity, so too have the coverage implications. Much hangs in the balance for corporations, their carriers, and risk-wary directors and officers who rely on these policies to safeguard their financial and reputational well-being.
Our Coverage attorneys enjoy success representing primary, excess and “Side A” insurers in connection with claims under D&O policies, many of which we helped craft. We handle claims monitoring with a focus on litigation in underlying cases; strategy assessment; damage evaluation; and claims resolution. We also provide counsel when disputes are elevated to class action status or involve criminal investigations or trials.
As with all of our coverage sub-practices, we make every effort to resolve matters swiftly and cost-effectively, most often via mediation or other forms of ADR.
