Insurance Regulatory

Stites & Harbison is well equipped to advise insurers and the insured on a complete range of coverage, regulatory and alleged "bad faith" issues. The firm's attorneys include a former general counsel and director of market conduct and enforcement for a state insurance department.

Our firm is at the forefront of defending insurance companies in class actions by policyholders alleging unfair business practices.

Some of our recent experience includes defending a national insurer in a class action pending in Seattle, and defending another carrier in high-profile coverage and bad faith litigation arising from a deadly school shooting in Paducah, Ky.

We also have extensive experience representing insurers in regulatory litigation. We assist clients in rehabilitation, liquidation, and other wind-up of affairs; market conduct and financial examinations; rate and form filings; consumer complaints, mergers and bulk reinsurance transactions; holding company act filings; re-domestications and numerous other regulatory matters. Our clients include major insurers in all lines, individual agents, and both local and national brokerage firms, premium finance companies, TPAs, health maintenance organizations, and dental service companies.
