Reed Smith’s Insurance Recovery Group Named Law360’s 2025 Practice Group of the Year

This highly regarded policyholder-side team within Reed Smith’s global network possesses a unique understanding of worldwide insurance programs and handles a broad array of high-profile and precedential insurance litigation and arbitrations with recoveries for clients that exceeded well over a billion dollars in settlements in the past year alone.

“It is an honor that our Insurance Recovery Group was recognized for our efforts across national and international insurance matters. This award reflects the team’s deep commitment to advocating for policyholders, delivering creative and results-driven solutions, and helping our clients recover the full value of their insurance assets,” said Amber Finch, partner and global chair of the firm’s Insurance Recovery Group. “I’m incredibly proud of our lawyers and grateful to our clients for their trust and partnership.”

The team’s cases range from catastrophic property losses and “bet-the-company” products claims, to securities litigation and cyber losses. Reed Smith’s attorneys are also among the very few firms that routinely handle confidential international insurance arbitrations.

The firm’s Insurance Recovery Group also provided pro bono services to hundreds of victims of the devastating LA wildfires, guiding them on coverages available under their policies. The team has provided more than 800 hours of pro bono services worth nearly a million dollars towards this effort. The group then leveraged their experience to provide similar pro bono assistance to victims of the devastating floods in Texas. The team also works closely with preeminent U.S. policyholder-side non-profit organization, United Policyholders, handling amicus efforts on many complex insurance issues.
