They not only make sure they put their client first but also that they provide insight as to what’s reasonable in a deal vs market. They want to make sure their clients are well protected but that they also know where is reasonable to stand ground vs not. I think that honesty and openness vs just purely doing what the client wants is unique and helpful.’

‘Amy Williams is a great market leader and advocate. Constantly trying to make sure her clients remain informed and up to speed on the market.

There are no weak links.’

‘As with most of the law firms we deal with, this team is a very intelligent, thoughtful group of lawyers. What separates them in my opinion though is how approachable they are and how engaged they become when you reach out to them. They make sure my team and I understand the legal concepts and language being detailed in the legal documents, but they also respect all of our ideas and thoughts and comments as well.’

‘While the entire Hunton team does an outstanding job, I would like to highlight and acknowledge the work of 3 partners in particular: Brent Lewis, Cecilia Horner and Janet Sadler McCrae.

They are both very experienced experts in the insurance recovery area and don’t just occasionally dabble in it – it’s their full-time practice and it shows. Larry is a very senior partner and engenders a lot of confidence from his clients. He is a good team player and thoughtful litigator.

His rates are extremely competitive and he is very good at bringing in other Hunton lawyers when needed‘.

‘Andy Geyer is a seemingly boundless source of knowledge. Whenever I encounter a situation that I am unsure of, or some odd provision I’ve never seen before, I go to Andy and he has never failed to rise to meet the need. He is also a skilled, patient and practical negotiator; he takes the time to understand how severe a risk actually is rather than waste time fighting on something that is not a true issue. Andy is excellent at presenting issues/statuses to senior leadership, negotiating with even the most hostile opposing parties and drafting creative language to meet unique needs‘.

They act as members of our team, and I think that both our company and their team view each other as such.’

‘Partners Myles Reynolds and Tab Urbantke and Associate Lauren Freeland are stars.
