As one of the nation’s preeminent real estate law firms, Miller Starr Regalia has more than 50 years of experience providing exceptional service to the title insurance industry. We are frequently retained by title companies to represent policyholders in real property litigation, and we have extensive experience defending title insurers in complex claims involving breach of contract, bad faith, and unfair business practices. We often provide coverage analysis to title insurance companies arising out of third party actions filed against insureds, where a policy defense is provided under a reservation of rights. Our team of litigators has developed a highly specialized expertise in these areas. This team is noted for its extensive trial experience and the “depth of its bench.” As many disputes extend beyond title and escrow issues, we also have a seasoned roster of attorneys who add their expertise to other real estate and business matters.
Our Title Industry Practice Group regularly advises insurers on compliance-related matters, and also handles issues involving licensing, product design and development, business programs and ventures, underwriting and the handling of claims. We are nationally recognized for our expertise in compliance initiatives vital to the heavily regulated insurance industry. Our clients include individual title companies, but we also represent the interests of the entire title industry on behalf of ALTA. This representation extends to appearances and advocacy before numerous state Departments of Insurance and the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC).
We represent the American Land Title Association (ALTA), the national trade association for the title industry, and we have also represented the California Land Title Association (CLTA), the state trade association, in addition to other notable industry groups.
In addition to sharing knowledge and experience with clients, Miller Starr Regalia attorneys author the 12-volume Miller & Starr, California Real Estate 4th, the most widely used and judicially cited real estate treatise in California.
