Insurance Matters
Dorn Bishop has extensive experience analyzing, reviewing, and even preparing insurance contracts, and he also has extensive experience litigating disputes that arise under them, including disputes that concern the following issues: (1) whether the insurer has a duty to defend and/or a duty to indemnify the insured; (2) whether the insurer denied coverage in bad faith; and (3) complex issues of indemnification, equitable indemnification, subrogation, and a wide range of matters that frequently arise in insurance disputes. Mr. Bishop, who litigated national and prominent insurance disputes while working as a partner at Latham Watkins, is proficient at reviewing insurance policies, which often seem bewildering if not incomprehensible even to very savvy business people and professionals who ordinarily can read and understand complicated business documents all on their own.
Our Ability to Accept Large Cases
Several times we have been opposed by teams of highly capable attorneys fielded by leading global law firms. In any such matter, or whenever the need arises, we can quickly assemble our own team of first-rate professionals who have worked with us successfully on prior occasion, and we can also procure essential litigation services from reliable outside service-providers, so that we are never outmatched or overwhelmed even by the largest or most pro-active global firm. We think that our work in these matters has reflected favorably on us, and we have obtained successful results for our clients in exceedingly difficult, sprawling, and complex antitrust controversies. All the while, we are able to maintain our reasonable billing arrangements because of the manner in which our practice is structured and our lean fixed costs.
