Today, as a mid-sized firm with a practice devoted to insurance, Hanson Peters Nye maintains one of the largest specialized insurance coverage practices in the world, with clients in Europe, Bermuda, Canada, and the United States. Hanson Peters Nye represents its insurance clients as coverage counsel and litigation counsel in jurisdictions throughout the world. In this regard, Hanson Peters Nye provides a broad range of services including, claims liability exposure evaluations; coverage analysis and opinions; claims handling, advice and supervision; management of litigation filed against policyholders; and coverage dispute resolution, through coverage litigation, negotiation or alternative dispute resolution techniques.

While most of our work involves advising our clients on various types of insurance claims and representing our clients in coverage disputes, we also maintain a significant product development and policy-drafting practice. We counsel and work closely with senior underwriters, corporate management, general counsel, and front-line claims and underwriting personnel to develop new insurance products, underwriting guidelines, claims handling strategies and claims management protocols. At Hanson Peters Nye, our primary objective is to utilize our specialized expertise and resources to assist our insurance clients with all of their business needs. We pride ourselves on our ability to achieve positive results in an efficient and cost-effective manner. Our attorneys are skilled in policy drafting and coverage analysis, but also know how to secure a winning result for our client in the most economical fashion. While understanding that litigation may be required, our attorneys are dedicated to finding the best solution for our clients, whether through litigation, alternative dispute resolution, or creative business solution.
