Wilson Elser is closely aligned with the insurance industry, influencing the way it does business from the clarity of the language in its policies to the types of products it offers to its expansion into every industry. We have been in the business of helping public- and private-sector clients identify and prevent exposures and, if they occur, capably manage reaction and recovery. This is our heritage and remains among our greatest strengths. 

As the preeminent defense litigation firm in the United States, Wilson Elser boasts attorneys who have the depth and breadth of experience to handle virtually every type of case – from straightforward and local to complex and multijurisdictional. Our trial attorneys in particular enjoy a well-earned reputation for taking on and prevailing in the most challenging and technical disputes. Indeed, we often parachute in to resolve matters when other law firms fall short. 

We count among our clients several of the world’s largest insurance carriers and their insureds, measuring some of our relationships in decades rather than years.

Our coverage attorneys serve scores of clients representing a cross-section of industries and virtually every insurance line. More than four decades ago, our founders counseled major global carriers associated with the London Insurance and Reinsurance Market on the full range of related issues. The skill and sophistication of their approach endures today and helps explain the exponential growth of this practice area within our firm.
