At Resnick & Louis, P.C., our D&O Liability team works closely with insurers to provide comprehensive support in analyzing director and officer claims, formulating clear coverage positions, and monitoring underlying litigation. Our focus is on helping insurers achieve timely, efficient, and cost-effective resolutions.
From the beginning of each engagement, we collaborate with our clients to understand the nature of the claims and the scope of the policy obligations. This proactive approach allows us to craft tailored strategies for both coverage and resolution.
We regularly advise on key issues, including:
- Duty to defend vs. indemnification of defense costs
- Retention and approval of defense counsel, including rate agreements
- Multiple counsel considerations for multiple insureds
- Self-insured retention (SIR) and deductible matters
- Allocation challenges related to:
- Company vs. individual insureds
- Officers and directors serving in multiple roles
- Covered vs. non-covered claims
Our team often remains engaged throughout the litigation process, providing ongoing strategic guidance to support favorable claim outcomes and settlements.
