INSURANCE
Wiley Rein's Insurance Group is one of the largest and most prominent insurer-side practices in the United States. More than 40 lawyers represent numerous insurers on a wide variety of matters throughout the country. Recognized by Chambers USA as a highly regarded insurance giant, we represent insurers and industry organizations in claims, underwriting and regulatory matters, as well as in complex settlements and transactions. We regularly handle complex litigation before federal and state trial and appellate courts, and we have developed an additional niche in the protection of insurers' interests in the federal bankruptcy courts. The Insurance Group also possesses extensive experience in alternative dispute resolution proceedings such as arbitrations and mediations, in which our lawyers regularly appear. We advise insurers on important federal and state legislative and regulatory developments. Substantively, we specialize in general liability, professional liability, property coverage, federal and state regulation, health care, reinsurance, transactions and insurance fraud. We are often called upon in high-profile and business-critical matters for our ability to provide innovative and pragmatic solutions and have been described as "smart, aggressive, action-oriented and outcome-focused" (Chambers USA 2010).
