Barton Gilman’s attorneys handle multi-million-dollar insurance coverage disputes and related commercial litigation involving policy interpretation, coverage obligations, contractual indemnification, and liability claims. Matters often involve directors and officers liability, professional liability and errors and omissions, commercial general liability, environmental risks, and other complex or high-value losses. The team also represents corporate and insurance clients in high-stakes business torts and contract matters including breach of contract, fraud and indemnity claims.
Drawing on its insurance and commercial litigation experience, the firm develops strategies tailored to the circumstances of each dispute, helping clients assess coverage and liability issues, evaluate litigation risks, and navigate complex matters with an understanding of their legal and practical business implications.
“Commercial insurance disputes often involve much more than the interpretation of a single policy provision,” said Edward Shoulkin, a partner at Barton Gilman. “Coverage questions can intersect with underlying liability, contractual indemnification obligations, and significant financial exposure. We work closely with our clients to assess these interconnected issues, evaluate the risks and opportunities, and develop strategies that account for both the legal complexities of the dispute and the client’s broader objectives.”
