Our attorneys have extensive experience representing the insurers of directors and officers for purposes of conducting claims investigations, monitoring defense attorneys, and defending coverage litigation.
The tumultuous evolution of the global economy continuously spawns developments having a profound impact on the liability of insureds and insurers alike, as exemplified by -- to name just a few -- the wave of mergers and acquisitions in the late 1990's, pervasive inflation of executive compensation, the rising number of bankruptcies in the technology sector, and increased scrutiny of accounting and revenue recognition procedures as manifest in the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Our attorneys pride themselves on expanding the parameters of coverage analysis to fully assess such new developments so as to ensure that any coverage implications they present are not overlooked. Where coverage is available, our attorneys are committed to developing a complete understanding of the facts and legal issues of a given case so as to effectively supervise the insured's defense counsel and to develop optimal settlement strategies where warranted. Where coverage is not available, we always stand ready to issue declination letters, file declaratory judgment actions and to implement any other appropriate means to protect the insurer.
