(Leading lawyers)Litigation, arbitration, mediation and negotiation fall within the scope of Latham & Watkins LLP‘s work on behalf of policyholders, which includes COVID-19 business interruption matters, long-tail environmental and sexual abuse claims in addition to an increasing number of first and third-party cyber-security and data breach issues. The practice is particularly adept at handling D&O work and is noted for its work in the niche representations and warranties sector. David A.
