This department in the firm headed by Adv. Peggy Sharon handles complex litigations on behalf of Insurers. In certain cases the litigation team represents Insurers where they decline liability. In other cases (mainly in Professional Liability cases), the team is requested by the Insurers to represent the Insured in Court.
The activities of the team include acting as defence attorneys in Court, or in Arbitration or in an alternative dispute resolution mechanism such as Mediation.
During recent years, most claims are referred to a mediation as a first option and only in the event the mediation fails, they would return to Court.
