When policyholders are faced with complex policy questions or disputes with their insurers, they turn to Jenner & Block for our deep experience in insurance law, strategic thinking, execution, and advocacy.
We help commercial policyholders better understand and improve their insurance programs, often working closely with risk managers and brokers to provide strategic counsel in the procurement process. We also counsel on claims submissions, and we provide experienced representation in insurance disputes and recovery matters, including litigation and arbitration.
Working collaboratively as appropriate with lawyers across the firm, we service nearly any issue with a deep bench, ranging from the nuts and bolts of traditional insurance liability claims, obtaining reps and warranties insurance in an M&A transaction, and navigating emerging cyber, data privacy (BIPA), and ESG claims.
