OVERVIEW

Joshua Rosenberg has extensive experience in insurance practice, devoting himself to advising and representing publicly and privately owned corporations in disputes with their insurance companies. Joshua provides corporate policyholders with a keen understanding of how insurance companies work, applying his knowledge of their pressure points to achieve client objectives.

Joshua represents corporate policyholders in litigation and arbitration matters throughout the country and abroad involving directors’ and officers’ liability, healthcare professional liability and errors and omissions liability insurance, crime coverage, commercial general liability coverage, cyber insurance, and rights of additional insureds. Joshua regularly works on high-stakes claims in a wide range of industries, including healthcare, technology, banking and finance, construction and design, real estate and many more. Joshua also counsels his clients throughout the claim process, well before litigation or arbitration, to help them maximize their insurance assets.

Insurance companies have armies of lawyers ready to fight claims made by corporate policyholders. Joshua and his team of coverage attorneys and other professionals are the force multiplier that can help level the playing field. Having successfully prosecuted insurance cases throughout the United States and abroad, Joshua understands the importance of resolving insurance coverage disputes without going to war wherever possible, as well as the fact that sometimes, litigation is the only option.

His reputation for aggressive advocacy in negotiations, coupled with his team’s ability to litigate against insurance companies, underscores for carriers the risks and costs of not trying to resolve a claim informally.

During law school, Joshua served as a judicial extern for the Honorable Dana M. Sabraw of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California.
