Capabilities
Our Insurance Coverage and Recovery team represents companies in many industries, including pharmaceutical and healthcare, energy, financial services, manufacturing, food and beverage, retail, and the real estate industry, among others. We represent our policyholder clients in complex, oftentimes bet-the-company, coverage disputes with their insurance companies. We serve as trial counsel across insurance claim categories, including first- and third-party claims, and in matters involving captives and self-insurance. Our established willingness to pursue claims through trial increases our clients’ opportunities for early settlement, and has allowed us to recover nearly $4 billion for our policyholder clients over the last 15 years through a combination of trials, international and domestic arbitrations and mediations.
To ensure effective representation and eliminate the conflicts of interest that plague other firms, we serve policyholders exclusively. Our track record spans all lines of insurance coverage, including:
Whether a company is facing devastating business interruption losses resulting from a natural disaster, a fast-moving whistleblower investigation, or bet-the-company product liability, mass tort, or environmental claims, King & Spalding has repeatedly demonstrated its ability to help clients maximize their insurance assets when they need them, regardless of the type of coverage or industry sector. Our deep experience in international insurance markets and in handling cross-border disputes with insurers and our Firm’s global platform allow us to efficiently and effectively pursue insurance recoveries around the globe in various venues. We also handle litigation of contractual indemnification and contribution claims for losses following breach of contract, or problems associated with asset sales, divestitures, and other corporate breakups.
