National Coordinating Counsel
Fields Howell acts as National Coordinating Counsel for insurers facing widespread litigation across multiple jurisdictions. Our attorneys provide strategic oversight and ensure consistent defense and coverage positions across all matters, helping insurers manage risk, reduce costs, and maintain control over complex litigation portfolios.
Strategic Leadership Across Jurisdictions
Fields Howell serves as a central point of coordination for insurers responding to mass litigation, catastrophic events, or high-exposure claims across multiple venues. We develop unified legal strategies, monitor case developments, and work with local counsel to maintain consistency in defense positions, discovery approaches, and settlement frameworks.
Our experience spans events like major hurricanes, natural disasters, and market-wide claims surges, such as COVID-19 property insurance litigation. We help carriers navigate regulatory inconsistencies, varying state laws, and jurisdiction-specific procedures without losing sight of the overall litigation strategy.
By acting as a single, informed voice across all cases, we allow our clients to make informed decisions, track outcomes, and resolve claims efficiently. Whether managing a handful of coordinated cases or hundreds of related lawsuits, our team ensures that every claim supports the insurer’s broader business and legal objectives.
