Insurance and Catastrophic Loss

"The team's advice is thorough, practical and very considered."
- Chambers USA

At Robins Kaplan LLP, our insurance lawyers handle complex, high-exposure insurance, reinsurance, and recovery claim disputes. We have a nuanced understanding of the industry’s unique demands built on decades of insurance representations. Our record includes litigation successes for insurance industry clients in state and federal courts, arbitrations, reference and appraisals, and mediations. We also offer clients practical, results-focused guidance and advice. No matter the case size, the depth and breadth of our experience litigating and managing high-exposure, complex disputes drives our effectiveness on our clients’ behalf and results in the delivery of efficient, client-centered case management practices and procedures. We approach both the strategy and budget of your case as if it were a business itself.  For example, we use Legal Project Management (LPM) and OneBudget^® software programs—our proprietary suite of LPM tools—to provide budget certainty, transparency, and clear case communication.  We also built an in-house Ediscovery practice group that combines proven tools and tactics to lower our clients’ Ediscovery costs and risks. Working in multiple offices across the country, our national Insurance and Catastrophic Loss Practice serves the needs of insurance clients across the scope of coverage issues.
