Extra-Contractual Litigation

At NLdH, we represent a wide variety of insurers in first- and third-party insurance and bad faith matters, as well as other extra-contractual issues. When lawsuits are brought against our clients, we bring a high level of energy, as well as cutting edge technology, to their defense.

Furthermore, we are one of the few law firms with attorneys who are willing to take action in reverse bad faith cases. We assist insurance companies in the investigation and prosecution of parties suspected of committing insurance fraud. We stand up for the rights of our clients and offer them the protection they are entitled to.

Our lawyers are available to provide extra-contractual consulting services to assist our clients with working proactively to prevent insurance bad faith disputes from arising in the first place. We provide extensive training programs for our clients’ claims teams. The result: increased customer satisfaction and a reduction in mishandled files.

Our law firm offers services for a wide range of extra-contractual issues:

  • The standard of care owed in insurance bad faith cases
  • The scope of permissible discovery and attorney-client privilege

  • Insurance bad faith claims arising out of UM/UIM disputes
