Our Firm
Policyholders are almost always at a disadvantage when dealing with insurance companies. Insurers have a virtual monopoly on coverage expertise and frequently use this advantage to benefit their interests at the expense of those they insure.
Osborne & Nesbitt levels this tilted playing field by providing policyholders with the same kind of legal sophistication the insurance companies bring to the game. We combine AV-rated litigation skills with the “insider’s edge” of having previously represented some of the country’s largest insurers.
We Are Specialists
Our practice is devoted exclusively to insurance coverage analysis and litigation on behalf of policyholders. Because we do not represent insurance companies, our policyholder-clients can be assured of receiving our undivided loyalty. We are team players, working closely with each client’s general counsel, litigation counsel, insurance broker and risk manager.
