Our firm’s reputation is built on three decades of counseling insurers – primarily London-based insurers, about how to solve the problems that threaten their very existence. Lewis Baach has proven its prowess by achieving success in the most challenging matters and in the most difficult U.S. venues —defeating claims seeking hundreds of millions of dollars for antitrust liabilities, winning a defense verdict in a suit seeking hundreds of millions of dollars in environmental coverage, resolving favorably problematic D&O reinsurance claims for hundreds of millions of dollars, serving as national counsel for Equitas wherever it was sued in the U.S., advising on the Equitas Part VII Transfer and achieving numerous court victories in a wide variety of direct claims (for example, environmental, antitrust, patent and trademark infringement, construction, and pharmaceutical industry).
And we know the U.S. Courts. Firm attorneys serve as national counsel on a variety of claims issues, including, for example, successfully engineering a national strategy for responding to asbestos claims. The firm’s successful arbitration work has saved its reinsurance clients in excess of a billion dollars. And the firm is consistently asked to devise strategies for solving the large-scale problems that threaten serious consequences and implementing them as well.
We go to trial when it is the best option. We conduct audits and investigations, evaluate and monitor claims, and represent insurers in federal and state legislative and select regulatory matters.
