Insurance

With decades of experience representing insurance companies and their insureds in matters ranging from professional liability to construction defect, Murphy Pearson brings a keen understanding of both the subject matter of various claims and the operational considerations of claims departments.

Clients value our case preparation, practical advice and strategic guidance. They also tell us they appreciate our clear communication and attention to detail, including in working with various billing systems and internal procedures, making their day-to-day interactions with us a seamless integration with their departments.

Our deep bench and extensive trial experience in the courts throughout the various jurisdictions in which we practice means we are familiar with many of the judges, opposing counsel, court rules and jury pools. We find this hands-on local knowledge a helpful edge when a matter proceeds to trial. As a mid-sized law firm, our client team matter staffing model allows us to bring in the right mix of support to handle matters efficiently, while creating an environment where we can be nimble and highly responsive. Clients generally interact directly with the partner responsible for their matter, supported by a skilled team of attorneys and paraprofessionals.

Insurance companies can rest at ease when referring insureds to Murphy Pearson’s Insurance team. We regularly represent a wide variety of professionals, including lawyers, judges, accountants, architects and design professionals, doctors, medical practitioners and others, in professional liability. We have also represented insureds in a multitude of matters arising from employment, business, real estate and construction, intellectual property and other commercial disputes.
