 Subrogation Defense

            Insurance companies routinely pursue individuals and corporations to recoup the losses incurred when paying a claim.  Shane has substantial experience on both sides of these scenarios. 

Independent Counsel Representation

            When a conflict, dispute or other circumstances arise during an insurance company’s defense of an insured, insureds are often entitled to separate counsel in addition to the attorney appointed to represent the insured, and at the insurance company’s expense.  Shane has been formally retained as Independent Counsel and informally as an advisor to monitor ongoing litigation and provide independent and unbiased advice. 

 M&A Insurance and Risk Management Due Diligence

Typically representing middle-market target and acquiring entities in commercial transactions, Shane has experience with performing risk management and insurance program due diligence.

Representations & Warranties Policy Acquisition

            Shane also has experience assisting companies with risk management and insurance due diligence during the Mergers & Acquisitions process, including negotiating and acquiring Representations & Warranties policies.  When the need arises, Shane has experience with and assists with claims reporting and recovering benefits under these types of policies. 

Going the distance for policyholders everywhere.
