WASHINGTON, DC, October 21, 2021: Morgan Lewis has been named Litigation Department of the Year in the Insurance specialty category of The National Law Journal’s 2021 Legal Awards. The awards recognize the industry’s leading practices based on the importance and difficulty of the matters handled on behalf of clients as well as the ingenuity and diligence shown in their winning approach. Morgan Lewis partner David Broderdorf was also recognized as a Rising Star.
Morgan Lewis’s insurance practice advises clients on procurement of insurance, engages in dispute resolution over covered losses, and engages in sophisticated restructurings using insurance recoveries, qualified settlement funds, and captive insurance companies.
