Best Law Firms in the United States for Insurance Law

Barton LLP, a law firm with offices in New York, California, Tennessee, and Virginia is comprised of an elite team of former partners of “Big Law” who have joined together to create a progressive law firm. To us, legal services are business services, and our attorneys and staff are business-people serving business clients to advance their business goals.

Our mission is to provide our sophisticated corporate, financial services, investment fund and entrepreneurial clients with the highest quality legal services delivered in an effective and efficient manner. We accomplish this because we are an organization that does not follow the traditional multi-layered and leveraged law firm model. We believe that a better product, value and client experience is achieved by providing our clients with highly skilled senior attorneys who work directly on their matters with appropriate support from a strong, but lean team of associate attorneys and staff.

We are committed to developing long-term relationships by partnering with our clients so that we thoroughly understand their organizations, objectives and long-term goals. We offer in-house training programs to our clients and take a proactive approach to reviewing clients’ business practices, contracts and relationships to avoid or reduce the incidents of litigation and risk whenever possible.

Our firm structure and experience allows us to offer a wide array of alternative fee arrangements. We understand that hourly billing is frequently not in our client’s best interest, nor does it necessarily represent the value of our services. Our clients provide their goods and services in a competitive marketplace, and yet they rarely, if ever, use an hourly based pricing model. We know that clients have to manage their resources and create efficiencies to stay within budget – and they want lawyers who are able to do the same.

Our clients come first. We are dedicated to client satisfaction. Since our founding in 1993, Cooper & Scully has grown into a formidable trial and appellate team of over thirty lawyers with skills that are second to none. Through effective and cost-efficient services, our dedicated team enjoys a stellar reputation for success and excellence.

We deliver top-notch litigation services in matters throughout the country from our offices in Dallas, Houston, Austin and San Francisco.

Our firm has the flexibility to address the needs of small and large business concerns alike. We represent business entities, business owners and health care providers in a broad range of litigation and other legal matters, including complex multiparty and class-action lawsuits before federal and state courts. We have extensive experience litigating a wide spectrum of legal areas including appellate, business transactions, construction, employment, energy, health care, insurance, intellectual property, medical malpractice, products liability, professional liability and transportation.

In addition to litigating complex cases from inception, our firm is frequently retained to try cases prepared by other lawyers and to handle the post-verdict or appellate phases of cases tried by other counsel. We also handle federal and state regulatory and agency proceedings and alternative dispute resolution matters, such as arbitration and mediation.

Our mission is to resolve your litigation effectively, quickly and cost-efficiently. We provide exceptionally responsive and proactive service to our clients. Where appropriate and in the interests of our clients, we can consider alternative billing structures including contingent fee and project based arrangements.
