Cozen O’Connor represents major domestic and foreign insurers on a worldwide basis and is a recognized leader in insurance law. With nearly 200 top insurance attorneys, Cozen O’Connor fields arguably the most sophisticated insurance law department of any firm in the United States.
Underwriters and claims handlers need counsel with deep industry knowledge and allegiance. Complex regulations, consolidation, and increasing litigation are just a few of the challenges insurers face. Cozen O’Connor is prepared to help insurance clients meet the demands of this fast-paced, high-stakes marketplace.
Underlying Cozen O’Connor’s special relationship with the insurance industry is our dedication to providing a truly full-service practice. Our attorneys operate in a vast range of critical specialties in hundreds of jurisdictions. With offices in 32 cities across the U.S., as well as in London and Toronto, Cozen O’Connor is able to provide counsel on a state-by-state, national and international basis.
Litigation. Cozen O’Connor represents insurers in complex coverage and bad faith disputes regarding virtually all lines of personal and commercial insurance. Our attorneys have served as lead trial counsel or national coordinating counsel in some of the largest coverage cases in recent memory, including Superstorm Sandy, the 9/11 attacks and the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. The firm is also a world leader in the area of subrogation, successfully recovering in excess of $200 million on behalf of our clients on an annual basis.
Business Transactions. Cozen O’Connor provides practical strategic advice to underwriters on regulatory compliance, corporate governance, major transactions, and the launch of new business organizations. We lead mergers, acquisitions, and entity creation; license and register industry participants; handle regulatory filings and contract negotiations; and structure alternative risk mechanisms, including captives, risk retention groups, and self-insurance plans.
Regulatory. Few industries are as heavily regulated as insurance. We advise on compliance, advertising, statutory reporting, receiverships, director and officer fiduciary duties, and board operations. Our attorneys regularly design corporate policies for insurers on privacy, document retention, codes of ethics, conflicts of interest, anti-fraud, subrogation policies, and claims handling. And we offer specific counsel on insurance topics, including investment restrictions, holding company matters, premium tax, surplus notes, premium financing, statutory deposits, and McCarran-Ferguson antitrust rules.
The Cozen O’Connor Insurance Industry Team includes fellows in the American College of Trial Lawyers, International Academy of Trial Lawyers and American College of Coverage and Extra-contractual Counsel. Numerous individual lawyers and insurance-related practice groups have received the highest rankings by Chambers & Partners and other independent legal publications.
