Our attorneys serve as legal counsel for some of the nation's largest and best-known insurance and reinsurance companies and we are called upon to represent their interests in handling a wide range of matters. While we represent our insurance industry clients in every aspect of their business operations, we have considerable experience in all types of insurance coverage and reinsurance claims and litigation.
The firm's Insurance Practice Group is in the forefront of representing insurance companies with respect to coverage matters involving property, commercial casualty, life, health, general liability, professional liability, directors & officers' liability, auto coverage, personal lines and other specialized coverages. We regularly counsel clients on insurance coverage issues, draft policy forms, investigate claims, and represent insurers in coverage and bad faith actions in federal and state courts. In addition, we handle a wide variety of other matters including litigation involving agents and brokers, as well as administrative matters. Our attorneys also provide advice and representation to insurers on regulatory issues including product development, policy wording, rating applications, insurance company formations and insolvency. Often working closely with management and in-house legal staff, our clients have come to rely on our expertise in insurance matters. Our extensive experience and in-depth understanding of coverage issues and policy interpretation has resulted in very favorable outcomes. The Group is responsible for some of the most significant pro-insurer appellate precedents that have defined the legal contours of coverage on some of the most significant and cutting-edge issues facing the industry.
Reinsurance disputes are typically complex and involve unique issues where much is at stake. We thoroughly understand the multi-faceted aspects of these disputes through our long and extensive representation of both ceding and assuming companies, as well as intermediaries. We know that in addition to the legal considerations, an understanding of the business, financial and reinsurance accounting issues involved in a reinsurance dispute is essential. We also know that top-level litigation skills are as critical in a reinsurance arbitration as they are in any other type of litigation. We believe that this is what we offer our clients and why they have expressed their confidence in us by bringing us some of their most significant matters. The firm's attorneys have a wealth of experience in the litigation, arbitration and mediation of reinsurance disputes. These disputes include ceded and assumed reinsurance of every type and encompass a broad spectrum of underlying claims. The firm also routinely provides counseling and coverage advice on the negotiation, wordings and interpretation of reinsurance contracts and the negotiation and drafting of commutation agreements. The firm has handled innumerable arbitrations, litigations, and mediations that have resulted in very favorable outcomes for the firm's clients. Saiber
