Insurance
Meredith practices in one of the most difficult jurisdictions for insurance carriers, and advises insurance carriers from the onset of a claim through trial. From analyzing coverage under an insurance policy pre-suit to defending bad faith and vexatious refusal claims, Meredith provides strategic recommendations to manage and evaluate risk and to resolve litigation favorably for carriers. Her experience includes multiple cases involving seven- and eight-figure demands and set-up judgments.
Meredith’s national insurance practice is comprehensive, and encompasses:
- Coverage determinations for third-party claims under general liability, professional liability, excess and umbrella, commercial crime, and other liability policies and specialized coverage forms
- Coverage determinations for first-party commercial property and business interruption claims
- Litigating declaratory judgment, vexatious refusal to pay, equitable garnishment, bad faith, subrogation, contribution and reformation actions.
Business Litigation
Meredith works with small businesses and large corporations to protect their interests, even including locating other resources and personnel to meet their non-litigation needs. Meredith routinely provides counsel and litigates breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, misrepresentation and employment related claims.
