Duane Morris Insurance Practice

Chambers and Partners' annual survey of the American legal profession consistently ranks Duane Morris among national leaders representing insurers and dealing with insurance law issues. In 2012, Duane Morris was one of only two firms to be included in Chambers' top tiers.

Chambers USA 2012 on Duane Morris' Insurance Practice:

"This well-established insurer firm handles disputes across the country and is known for its deep bench strength. While the practice's critical mass resides in California, the team deals with issues on the East Coast and in the Midwest, allowing for a significant nationwide footprint. Key areas of expertise include coverage disputes and a range of professional and general liability claims on behalf of major insurance companies including XL, Great American and CNA.

Clients are effusive in their praise for this well-established West Coast stalwart, thanks to its deep expertise in the insurance industry. The group attracts particular recognition from the market Divider Linefor its experience in handling the full range of environmental and asbestos coverage disputes, although there is more diversity to the practice with strength in matters including general liability and insurance bad faith claims. Peers recognize the firm as a competitor both in California and across the country.

Sources say: 'The firm's insurance practice has maintained a small and intimate feel even as it has moved into a larger firm … The firm's mature and sensible way of dealing with conflicts and potential conflicts reflects a good understanding of the needs of its market.'"
