Throughout the firm’s history hundreds of US and international insurance providers have relied on the experience of Palmer attorneys for advice and representation of their interests in connection with insurance-related legal matters arising in the United States and elsewhere in the world. Our attorneys are regularly asked to furnish coverage opinions to insurers in both routine and highly complex matters. When insurance coverage issues cannot be resolved amicably, our experienced litigators protect and pursue the insurer’s legal rights in the courts or in arbitration, often employing federal court declaratory judgment actions to obtain a strategic advantage.

At the same time, when a casualty gives rise to a potential liability claim, we are routinely engaged by insurers to represent and defend the interests of the companies or individuals whom they insure or, in the case of a property loss, to pursue the insurer’s subrogation rights against responsible third parties.

Some of the main areas in which we regularly represent insurers are:

  • Marine Insurance (Commercial and Recreational)
    • Protection and indemnity insurance
      • Casualty investigation and defense
      • Litigation and arbitration
    • Hull and machinery insurance claims
      • Coverage opinions and disputes
      • Subrogation
      • Casualty investigation
  • Insurance Coverage Disputes
    • Marine, non-marine, CGL, inland marine, environmental, oil and energy, shipyards
      • Coverage opinions and disputes
      • Subrogation
      • Litigation and arbitration
  • Defense of Direct Actions against Insurers and Underwriters
