NLdH's Insurance Coverage Practice Group represents clients in a broad range of matters related to asbestos, including property damage, bodily injury and non-products claims throughout the United States. The group draws upon its experience in insurance coverage and litigation to respond to the needs of clients who insure entities involved in the extraction, manufacturing, distribution and sale of asbestos-containing products as well as those that have acquired asbestos-related liabilities through mergers and acquisitions.

Our attorneys regularly counsel clients on coverage issues such as trigger, number of occurrences, allocation, self-insured retentions and deductibles, and the applicability of various exclusions, including asbestos, known loss and pollution/absolute pollution. We advise clients on long-tail claims management issues and recommend innovative approaches to dealing with the potential exposure from such claims. We are also well-versed in the reinsurance issues that may be implicated by asbestos claims.

Our lawyers have extensive experience representing clients in trial and appellate courts throughout the United States as well as engaging in methods of alternative dispute resolution, such as mediation and arbitration. NLdH's understanding of responding to asbestos claims from both a coverage and a liability perspective allows us to provide comprehensive advice and experience to efficiently and aggressively represent insurers.
