Insurance Counseling and Recovery

Gould & Ratner’s Insurance Counseling and Recovery attorneys provide counsel and advocacy for policyholder clients relating to insurance matters, including coverage and claims. Our lawyers also approach insurance from a business perspective, understanding and anticipating the risks facing our clients. We help clients plan, manage and limit those risks to protect their interests. If litigation or arbitration against the insurer becomes necessary, our highly skilled and experienced trial lawyers can step in.

Our attorneys regularly counsel clients from a broad range of industries, addressing a wide variety of insurance coverage matters, including:

Builders’ and construction risk
Environmental liability, including asbestos
Class action claims, including TCPA, wiretap/eavesdropping and biometric information
Commercial general liability
Cybersecurity and social engineering policies
