We Know the Business of Insurance
In August of 2000, Mike Nelson, Ken Levine, Dan de Luca and Bob Horst opened the doors of Nelson Levine de Luca & Horst. From the start, our attorneys worked hard to prove ourselves to our clients, quickly gaining their allegiance. Our attorneys were entrusted with significant national litigation, litigation that we resolved successfully. Our success in these cases, cases that are historic to the insurance industry, quickly built our reputation as insurance law attorneys.
This attention led to immediate and dramatic expansion. Before the close of our third year, NLdH was listed in Pennsylvania Law Weekly's 100 largest firms in Pennsylvania. To our first location in the Philadelphia area, we have added offices in Cherry Hill, Columbus, New York and London. We have earned our reputation as a one-of-a-kind law firm equipped to handle the most complex legal matters that arise for clients within the insurance industry.
Our History Within the Insurance Industry
What would lead an insurance company to enlist us to handle such significant cases? Our history within the insurance industry stretches back more than 30 years. Prior to becoming attorneys, members of our team have held positions at insurance companies and in the insurance regulatory community.
Our knowledge, understanding and background in the insurance industry are reasons frequently cited when clients are asked why they turn to us. They know that our lawyers have practical experience in the business, and knowledge beyond that necessary for lawyers. It is that hands-on experience that sets us apart from other law firms that handle such matters.
This is why Nelson Levine de Luca & Horst has been able to garner the confidence of some of the largest insurers in the world to manage their complex issues and regulatory compliance matters throughout the United States.
Our Role in the Future of Insurance Law
We have cemented our position as authorities on complex insurance issues not only by succeeding in the most challenging cases, but by remaining active beyond the courtroom. We act as national coordinating counsel for several insurers on wide-ranging issues of importance. We regularly testify in Washington and before the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. We represent insurance departments as clients. Our lawyers are known nationally as authorities on regulatory matters, reinsurance, insurance class action, extra contractual liability and subrogation. We are also on the forefront of reform efforts on e-discovery, class action and the attorney client privilege.
Our attorneys author articles and alerts, including an ad hoc e-bulletin addressing "breaking news" on significant issues for insurers, a monthly periodical, "Up To Speed," focusing on national insurance litigation and regulatory issues affecting automobile insurers, and a quarterly periodical focused on regulatory issues "The Regulatory Current" that is released in sync with the National Association of Insurance Commissioner's quarterly meetings. All of our partners have published articles pertaining to issues affecting insurers. Currently, we are publishing a book through American Lawyer Media on the topic of extra-contractual litigation from a national perspective.
As the insurance industry faces a changing legal and regulatory landscape, our knowledge of the industry is a valuable asset to decision-makers concerned with effective and rapid resolution of legal challenges.
