The Lowenstein Difference
- The lawyers in Lowenstein's Insurance Recovery group are recognized as skillful litigators and negotiators. We are particularly known for our technical excellence, strategic thinking, creativity, and trial experience.
- Unlike other law firms, we have never represented insurance companies in insurance matters. We have represented policyholders and only policyholders for the past 30 years. This leaves us conflict-free and able to zealously represent our clients.
- We know the insurance industry. Our team has an extensive network of contacts among insurance brokers, defense counsel, and the major insurance companies, and those relationships often enable us to pursue early resolution of disputed claims.
- We are distinguished by our fee structures. We work closely with our clients on pricing, and we often offer competitive alternatives to traditional hourly billing. We welcome the opportunity to partner with clients to provide budgeting certainty and predictability for our matters.
- We may be lawyers, but we also think like businesspeople. We are entrepreneurial. We endeavor to understand our clients' business needs, and our legal advice is informed by that knowledge.
- We use creative approaches to solve our clients' issues strategically.
How We Work With Clients
We seek to resolve insurance disputes quickly and efficiently. When insurance companies refuse to settle claims reasonably, we are ready to force them to provide coverage. Our team has litigated hundreds of cases in more than 40 states. We have extensive experience with dispute resolution and adeptly counsel clients through mediation and arbitration proceedings. Our litigation strategies are designed to expedite early resolution and to minimize the interruption of a company's daily business operations.
Our lawyers are more than insurance coverage litigators. We advise our clients on pre- and post-loss insurance disputes, conduct insurance policy audits, provide insurance input on master service agreements and other contractual documents, assist with policy purchases and renewals, and perform insurance due diligence in the context of corporate transactions and bankruptcy proceedings.
