Business Insurance, a publication focused on risk management, transfer and financing, named McGuireWoods’ Insurance Recovery Practice Group a finalist for its annual Legal Team of the Year award.
The winner will be announced at the U.S. Insurance Awards in Chicago on July 23, 2026.
McGuireWoods earned recognition for helping policyholders secure insurance recoveries across a range of high-profile matters, including the seizure of an oil tanker in the Middle East, defamation claims by an actress, the aborted launch of a commercial rocket and business interruptions from the COVID-19 pandemic.
The insurance recovery team also advised clients in high-stakes coverage disputes involving a failed business merger, securities and derivatives lawsuits, a deadly fire in a Los Angeles high-rise building and hundreds of products liability suits alleging bodily injuries from exposure to purportedly harmful constituents in stone and tile products.
Los Angeles partners Shaun Crosner and Kirk Pasich and Atlanta partner Tony Tatum co-lead the practice group, which has a nationwide ranking in Chambers USA.
“This recognition is a testament to our team’s relentless drive to protect clients’ interests when the stakes are highest,” said Noreen Kelly, McGuireWoods’ deputy managing partner for litigation. “Whether pursuing insurance coverage or related complex commercial claims, our lawyers are committed to maximizing recoveries—whether domestically or abroad—so that clients can move forward with confidence.”
