Insurance, in its various forms, has an unrivaled prominence in today’s legal industry. Be it transactional or litigation, there are few instances where our attorneys do not face issues requiring a highly advanced knowledge of the insurance sector. Whether providing services directly to the carrier or serving the needs of an individual insured, our firm has a long history of unparalleled experience in addressing those issues.

Wright Lindsey Jennings offers a full range of services to insurance companies in commercial and casualty settings. Our attorneys have years of experience in litigation involving coverage questions, as well as defending insurance companies, and their insureds, in first-party and third-party claims. While serving as lead counsel for multiple high stakes class action lawsuits, we have developed the logistical efficiency necessary to handle the demands of large scale litigation. However, given our local ties and community pride, we also place a high value on serving the needs of the individual insureds – regardless of how big or small those needs may be. We are also well equipped to offer counsel and assistance with regard to the ever changing regulatory landscape.
