Disability Insurance Policy Claims
The firm represents policy holders of disability insurance in claims against their carriers, when an insurance company refuses to pay on legitimate claims of disability. We are familiar with the legal and factual arguments posed by insurance companies and their lawyers, when they deny legitimate claims. We have successfully collected millions of dollars for our clients from the litigation of these claims, in spite of those arguments.

Entertainment issues frequently involve a complex combination of contract law, negotiation, privacy and publicity law, corporate, partnership, and limited liability entity, and/or property law, and they frequently require immediacy. Both our litigation and transactional group have experience in all of these areas, and work together to formulate and obtain results in your entertainment industry-related issues.
