Ward Greenberg’s experienced Insurance Recovery and Counseling group efficiently and effectively resolves complex coverage disputes for our clients, secures carrier participation in defense and settlement of claims, and maximizes insurance recoveries. Clients seek our guidance when an insurance company has denied them coverage, reserved its rights, or refused to take a position on a claim. Clients also turn to us when facing a lawsuit, or when considering taking their own legal action. 

We proactively counsel clients on insurance-related issues, including analyzing coverage for claims, evaluating corporate insurance programs and policies for potential coverage gaps, tailoring insurance programs to meet clients' unique risks, negotiating favorable policy wording, and drafting contractual indemnity and insurance requirements. Our experience includes all lines and types of coverage, including general liability, excess/umbrella, professional, pollution, cyber, auto, property and builders risk. Our goal is to help clients avoid coverage issues, keep their businesses running smoothly, protect their balance sheets, and minimize administrative burdens, so they can focus on their businesses. We collaborate with risk managers, brokers, in-house counsel, defense counsel, and other stakeholders to tailor solutions to our clients' specific businesses and risks.
