Faegre Drinker is a top 50 firm designed for clients. With more than 1,300 experienced attorneys, consultants and professionals in 21 locations in the United States, London and Shanghai, we have the strength to solve our clients’ most complex challenges wherever they need us.
Faegre Drinker understands the insurance industry from an insider’s point of view, maintaining deep roots and enduring relationships with key participants in the industry, state regulators and local officials along with Congress, federal agencies and international standard-setters. We are problem-solvers for the country’s leading insurance companies — and have sustained this reputation for nearly a century. Our valuable institutional knowledge enables us to anticipate challenges and innovate to support our clients’ objectives. We are our clients’ business partners and collaborators, evolving with the industry to advance their goals so they can focus on mitigating risks for others.
We counsel life insurance carriers on all aspects of insurance regulation, high-stakes litigation, public policy, and M&A and other transactional matters. We litigate on behalf of clients, large and small, in single-plaintiff suits, bad faith actions and class actions throughout the country while carefully monitoring litigation threats and emerging trends. We also advise on matters involving product performance and administration, complex claims, reinsurance, bad faith and extra-contractual liability, improper sales practices and consumer protection statute violations, among others. Deeply familiar with applicable, often conflicting federal and state regulations, we analyze policy provisions and form filings, help formulate responses to information requests from regulators, and otherwise counsel life insurers on identifying and adopting best practices for regulatory compliance.
