Pillsbury Announces Insurance Law Blog for Policyholders

Pillsbury is pleased to unveil an insurance law blog focused exclusively on the issues corporate policyholders face. Policyholder Pulse will feature of-the-moment news, commentary and analysis from the firm’s award-winning insurance practitioners and will be an essential tool offering practical help to businesses in need of coverage-related legal insights.

Pillsbury’s noted Insurance Recovery & Advisory lawyers will draw from their vast collective experience to highlight significant cases, trends and themes and provide actionable advice that spans every major industry and virtually every type of insurance policy. Recent blog posts address subjects such as:

• the important factors to consider when preparing to give notice of a claim,

• tips for negotiating a cyber insurance policy, and

• how to make sure earthquake coverage is adequate to meet seismic risks allegedly caused by “fracking” and injection wells

Pillsbury’s Insurance Recovery & Advisory practice was one of the first insurance policyholder practices in the United States—dating back to the Great San Francisco Earthquake and Fire of 1906, when the firm helped business owners recover from their insurers to rebuild the city. The group has recovered nearly $15 billion of insurance proceeds for policyholder clients since —including more than $1 billion in each of 2013, 2014 and 2015 alone — and regularly helps them obtain broad insurance coverage to address the risks inherent in business today. The group has been lauded by Chambers USA, Legal 500 and Best Lawyers in America and was recognized by Law360 as a 2015 Insurance Practice Group of the Year.
