Spencer Fane is pleased to announce its Denver-based Insurance team’s selection as one of Law360’s 2024 Regional Powerhouses. Attorneys Ron Fano, Terence Ridley, Linda Knight, and Evan Stephenson discussed this honor in a recent profile from the publication.
In the feature, Law360 summarized the team’s groundbreaking legal work over the last few years, emphasizing recent successes for bad faith litigation plaintiffs. “My group has a reputation for defying that conventional wisdom that insurance companies need to be on the defensive all the time and can’t stand up for their own rights,” said Terence, speaking to how such trial wins have drawn further client interest.
The publication also explored how the Spencer Fane Insurance team fosters larger-scale growth for the firm’s Denver office. Since opening in 2012, the Denver team has more than tripled while also expanding its diverse recruiting and professional development initiatives.
“We’ve been on the cutting edge of defending cases that have led to making some really positive law to balance the playing field” for insurers, said Linda, who leads the firm’s Insurance Litigation Market Team.
At the firm, the Insurance team helps clients navigate difficult cases, minimizing financial exposure and reputational damage when litigation becomes necessary. With experience spanning the entire industry, the team has represented insurers in state and federal courts. Their complex legal work includes developing new legal precedents on appeal, defeating bad-faith setup claims, defending rescission of policies based on misrepresentation, vacating corrupt appraisal awards, and recovering for insurers on counterclaims against insureds who breach their own obligations under the policy.
