This Thanksgiving, Barnes & Thornburg’s Policyholder Insurance Recovery and Counseling Practice Group is thankful for our clients and colleagues who have made us one of the largest and most recognized insurance recovery practices in the country. Just this week, we appeared in Law360’s list of 100 law firms with the most insurance partners. Importantly, the vast majority of those firms represent insurance companies. We don’t. We exclusively represent corporate and individual policyholders, who we have helped recover hundreds of millions of dollars from insurance companies. And we are among the nine nominees for Best Policyholders’ Counsel of the Year at Advisen’s Management Liability Awards dinner next week in New York. We are also one of the very few policyholder practices that is truly coast to coast. In recent years, insurance recovery lawyers have joined our offices in Atlanta, Chicago, Los Angeles, Minneapolis and Washington, D.C., complementing our longstanding policyholder practices in Indiana, Michigan and Chicago. Of course, none of this growth or recognition could occur without our clients and insurance professional colleagues, including risk managers and brokers. We are honored to have their trust, and we are gratified when we can help improve their bottom lines.
Thankful for Our Policyholder Clients and Insurance Professional Colleagues
Kenneth M. Gorenberg
