We are proud to announce that Miller Friel and one of our partners, Paul Zevnik, have been selected for inclusion in the Chambers and Partners rankings.
This recognition reflects what we have long believed — that a group of nationally recognized lawyers, with decades of Experience representing corporate policyholders, practicing in a firm whose sole Focus is assisting corporate policyholders in insurance coverage disputes leads to better Results. Our firm has steadfastly followed this policyholder-only boutique law firm model since our firm’s inception. See How To Choose An Insurance Recovery Law Firm. (a video about Miller Friel’s boutique model posted over ten years ago).
Insurance recovery is not a sideline practice at Miller Friel. Unlike many other firms, client matters are not handled by generalist litigation partners or junior associates rotating through one of many departments. All of our partners previously practiced as coverage attorneys at prestigious large law firms. Our singular focus allows us to anticipate problems others might miss and to quickly devise practical, results-driven strategies for our clients. It also positions us at the cutting edge of emerging coverage issues from cyber and ransomware attacks to biometric data privacy claims, to representations and warranties insurance disputes. Our direct competitor law firms may have thousands of lawyers, but they can’t match our singular focus and the results that follow.
Our track record speaks for itself. Miller Friel attorneys have handled some of the most significant insurance recovery cases in the last twenty years, with total recoveries in excess of $9.5 billion. Our results span virtually every line of commercial insurance — from a $5 billion Hurricane Sandy property claim to a $1 billion-plus opioid coverage matter, to a $112 million punitive bad faith jury verdict for a flood-damaged manufacturing facility that stands as the largest punitive damages awards ever recorded in an insurance property damage case. We represent some of the world’s best-known retail, manufacturing, transportation, technology, commercial real estate, entertainment, private equity, telecommunications, consumer electronics, and service sector companies.
What sets us apart is not just our depth of experience — but also our independence. Unlike nearly every AmLaw 100 firm, we do not represent insurance companies. We are free from the conflicts and carrier-mandated restrictions that constrain firms with divided loyalties. As a result, we are one of the few corporate insurance law firms that can sue insurance companies for bad faith. Our clients know that their interests — and only their interests — shape the advice we provide.
