Commercial Litigation

Our familiarity with sales and products liability law, coupled with our negotiation, litigation and trial skills, has yielded significant results.

In the area of commercial products claims, the engineering background of our Senior Partner has been indispensable. Many of our cases have involved problems with complicated building structures, as well as machinery or vessels. Merging this background with a knowledge of products liability and sales law and a zeal for complex litigation, has admirably served our clients’ interests.

Clients trust Flanagan Law, PLLC because we offer a single, unified, and efficient litigation team that remains with the client through conclusion of the matter. Whether the issues are to be debated during alternative dispute resolution or extend beyond the lower courts into appellate litigation, our clients take comfort in knowing we can defend and initiate proceedings on their behalf. Although we promote settlement of matters – thus keeping client costs in mind – we are trial ready and battle tested. Our attorneys have represented parties in major trials in both state and federal court.
The cross-disciplinary approach we use positions us to draw from our extensive breadth of knowledge in multiple legal specialties. This is essential in today’s business environment, in which a single dispute implicates multiple areas of law necessitating the fortitude to bring a case to a comprehensive conclusion.

Insurance Litigation

We are particularly proud of the success we have had in representing members of the insurance industry. Our attorneys have extensive experience with property/casualty matters and suretyship and financial guaranty issues. Combining our industry-specific capabilities with our depth of transactional, regulatory and dispute resolution experience we have become adept at developing creative approaches to the industry’s more difficult legal challenges.

Through our relationships we have handled numerous insurance litigation matters. This work has involved recovery of premiums, especially on retrospective, loss-sensitive and auditable policies.

We have substantial knowledge of the sophisticated insurance programs marketed to major corporations and we are also extremely familiar with the role played by intermediaries, whether operating as agents or brokers. As a result, we have extensive practice covering brokers, agents, and other intermediaries. In that regard, our work includes:

• General corporate advice to insurers and reinsurers
• Insurance and Reinsurance Policies
• Intermediary, distribution, outsourcing and other commercial agreements.

On the defensive side, our attorneys have handled major coverage litigation, as well as defended claims on various types of liability policies. Our understanding of standard insurance practices, policies, and agreements has been instrumental in enabling us to assist our clients to obtain successful results without protracted litigation.
