Director & Officer Liability

DIRECTOR & OFFICER LIABILITY

Cohen|Black attorneys see and understand the commonalities between director and officer liability, professional liability, and commercial litigation: the entity and its leadership are in question. We represent directors and officers of corporations, professional practices, and non-profit boards in pre-litigation, litigation, and arbitration. Our attorneys understand the impact litigation has on the entities’ leadership.

Cohen|Black attorneys also assist insurance companies with coverage analysis of director and officer and error and omission insurance policies. As coverage counsel, we evaluate coverage and investigate and monitor claims for both primary and excess insurance carriers. We are retained by insurance companies writing these specialty lines of insurance to bring recission and declaratory judgment claims, and to defend coverage and against claims by policyholders and purported beneficiaries in bad faith breach of insurance contract litigation.
