Loeb & Loeb’s Insurance Coverage and Defense Practice offers counseling and litigation services to help leading insurers, reinsurers, insurance brokers and insureds anticipate problems and avoid or mitigate insurance claims, losses or damages. Our practice brings a wide variety of experience to the table, from advising clients on coverage and exclusions to handling insurance and reinsurance disputes and arbitrations in jurisdictions throughout the country.
Our clients include major insurance companies, brokers and intermediaries, as well as policyholders from a range of industries, including real estate, financial services, retail, entertainment and media, advertising, and technology. In the healthcare field, we also have extensive experience representing third-party administrators and claims administrators for self-funded employee benefit plans.
Our attorneys help insureds interpret policies, analyze coverage, determine where coverage is lacking and, where appropriate, establish or pursue coverage for claims brought against them. We assist both insurers and policyholders in rendering coverage opinions and handling difficult placement issues. We also represent insurers, insureds, brokers and intermediaries in contentious insurance matters. Approved and retained by leading insurance carriers to represent their insureds in defense of claims, we have been successful in working out creative split-fee arrangements with insurance companies and their policyholders.
When disputes arise, we strive to achieve favorable out-of-court outcomes for clients through mediation and alternative dispute resolution. When litigation is unavoidable, our seasoned trial attorneys aggressively prosecute and defend claims in federal and state courts across the U.S. In addition to handling a variety of commercial general liability insurance matters, our broad capabilities and experience extend to the following disciplines:
Title Insurance
As recognized leaders in title insurance law, Loeb & Loeb represents most of the industry’s leading title insurers in issuing and evaluating policies, rendering coverage opinions and resolving title disputes on behalf of their insureds. We also represent title insurance carriers in coverage disputes and claims. Our attorneys have substantial experience handling all aspects of title litigation arising from insurer liability and title insurance coverage claims.
Broker Liability Insurance
We represent some of the world’s largest insurance brokers in a wide range of matters such as enforcement of restrictive covenants actions and claims alleging broker liability in connection with errors and omissions coverage. From the negotiation table to the courtroom, we are strong advocates for our insurance market intermediaries.

We regularly represent insureds in negotiating policy terms, filing environmental claims for defense and indemnification costs under comprehensive general liability insurance policies, and securing defenses and settlements in complex environmental insurance coverage claims.

Our practice encompasses the full spectrum of property and casualty insurance coverage issues and disputes. We have defended claims involving major commercial property damage and business interruption losses, product and inventory losses, and disputes relating to the scope of coverage and exclusions.
