Global Insurance Services

In any insurance dispute, regardless where a party sits in the insurance pyramid -- insurer, excess, cedent, reinsurer or policyholder -- early identification of critical elements is essential. Identifying exposure for extra-contractual claims, understanding timing of responses and investigation, and assessing whether there are global implications of the outcome are just a few important items that should be initially identified. The attorneys in our Global Insurance Service practice apply their collective experience to spot key issues that make the difference between excellent and mediocre results.

Our approach is uncomplicated. We team with our clients to understand what drives a particular insurance dispute and then map out a realistic strategy for achieving a resolution. This may include: a comprehensive audit, policy reviews, regulatory advice, positioning a dispute for resolution at the business level (either through interim funding or non-waiver agreements), negotiations among counsel, mediation or fully-involved arbitration or litigation. Each engagement is unique. We pride ourselves on incorporating our clients into our team and working collaboratively to achieve a cost effective solution.

The attorneys in the Global Insurance Service Group possess comprehensive knowledge of the complexities that frequently arise in insurance disputes. Our group is comprised of over 25 attorneys throughout 10 offices in the firm's four states -- all seamlessly connected through technology. We ensure a cohesive and singular position for clients represented in different venues on similar issues. Our attorneys are accomplished speakers and presenters in all arenas of insurance practice, regularly educating colleagues and members of the insurance industry. Our group also includes the editor of the renowned Couch on Insurance treatise and authors of the Appleman on Insurance treatise. Goldberg Segalla's Global Insurance Services practice consists of attorneys who hold key leadership positions in state and national insurance organizations, including the Defense Research Institute, the International Association of Defense Counsel, International Claim Association and the Federation of Defense and Corporate Counsel. It is upon this broad base that we consider ourselves uniquely qualified to represent our clients on an international level.

Every two weeks, we publish CaseWatch, a survey on every appellate level insurance coverage decision in the United States. Once per month, we publish the Reinsurance Review. This publication provides timely summaries and access to the latest reinsurance law, news and developments worldwide. We also maintain a daily web blog on recent insurance decisions entitled the Insurance and Reinsurance Report, and send daily case and industry news updates on Twitter at InsureReReport.
