Wiley Rein LLP

The insurance team at Washington DC-based Wiley Rein LLP specializes in professional liability insurance, including D&O and E&O, as well as cyber and transactional liability matters, and is routinely instructed by major US insurance carriers to advise on bad faith litigation, appellate matters, policy drafting, and product development advice, as well as coverage disputes and denials following misconduct by policyholders. The team works under a pair of chairs: Kimberly M. Melvin, a professional liability specialist whose expertise includes matters at the intersection of insurance and bankruptcy law, and Benjamin Eggert, who leads on insurance coverage and bad faith litigations and is noted for his knowledge of governmental risk management. Strengthening the bench is D&O-focused Jason P. Cronic, and Gary Seligman, whose broad practice involves representing insurers in a wide variety of disputes before the trial and appellate courts, and advising clients on coverage and underlying exposure issues related to lawyers’ professional liability and tech omissions and errors. Leslie Platt contributes her experience with cyber risks, and Kimberly Cereijo advises an array of insurers on coverage and underlying liability exposure. Mary Borja is a representations and warranties and transactional liability specialist. Newly-promoted partner Margaret Karchmer acts for domestic and European insurers facing complex claims disputes.
