Who We Are

Based in Washington, D.C., Lewis Baach is an internationally recognized, premier firm for insurance and reinsurance, international financial disputes and global commercial litigation.

Our clients include leading corporations, insurers, financial institutions, family conglomerates, public officials and professionals facing complex, high-stakes problems, such as liability claims, insolvency, insurance or reinsurance disputes, complex financial disputes, government relations initiatives or white-collar criminal defense.  They turn to us for solving problems in court, at the negotiating table, with regulators, and with legislators.

We have earned an international reputation for exceptional litigation prowess and resourceful problem-solving in high-profile matters—from the world’s largest bank insolvency (BCCI) to Reconstruction and Renewal at Lloyd’s, from a billion-dollar RICO judgment to the largest fraud in the history of the Middle East, from a string of product liability defense verdicts to representation of London Market Insurers in their most challenging problems for 30 years.

While we are a leading national and international firm in our areas of expertise, we are more agile, and focused on client service and client goals than the behemoth firms in fashion today.

Thanks in large part to our reputation as tough, thorough, and experienced litigators, we can often achieve the sought after results for our clients through negotiation, mediation, or arbitration, without the expense of going to trial. We counsel clients on ways to understand and minimize litigation risks and costs, and we work with clients to develop realistic budgets so that the costs of litigation can be anticipated and managed like other business expenses.

We pride ourselves on our reputation as a sophisticated, principled, diverse and public-spirited firm. We like to think that is why so many of our clients have remained so loyal for so many years.
