Professional Liability

Zelle represents professional liability insurers in matters involving claims brought against their insureds. These claims often include attorneys, insurance agencies, agents and brokers, healthcare providers, accountants, architects, engineers, and other professionals. Zelle lawyers serve their clients in a number of roles depending on the nature of the case. As coverage counsel, Zelle attorneys provide initial coverage advice and assistance in evaluating defense and/or indemnity obligations in a given case, guide clients in properly reserving their rights in the context of providing a defense, and represent those clients in litigation if a dispute develops. As monitoring counsel, Zelle attorneys provide their clients with concise analysis of potential claim exposure at the early stages of a claim and throughout litigation, ensure the defense team is adequately addressing the key issues in the litigation, and facilitate communication between the defense team and the client.
