Directors & Officers Liability
Sophisticated Counsel for Complex D&O Claims.
At LRD, we advise and represent insurers in high-exposure claims under Directors and Officers (D&O) liability insurance policies. Our attorneys have been trusted with some of the most complex and high-profile D&O matters in recent years, including claims stemming from the collapse of cryptocurrency markets, major bank failures, the opioid crisis, and the Me Too movement.
We bring deep experience across every stage of a D&O matter—from initial assessment through resolution—offering strategic insights on coverage, liability, and risk exposure. Whether resolving issues through informal negotiation, mediation, or litigation, we partner with our clients to craft tailored solutions that balance legal, financial, and reputational considerations.
