Our clients typically want to be paid promptly and wish to litigate only if necessary. Our precept is that the development, documentation, and presentation of claims that are likely to succeed if tested in court is the course most likely to result in voluntary payment by the insurer without the delay and expense of litigation. We understand the importance of the broker in the procurement and claims process and routinely work closely with our clients’ brokers. We also understand the central role of accounting, loss-quantification, and other experts. We advocate a multidisciplinary team approach, bringing to bear the expertise of the clients’ in-house personnel, the broker, and, as necessary, retained experts, to develop a well-founded, credible claim.
