Lane Finch is an analytical and creative problem solver with over 30 years' experience counseling insurance carriers on a broad range of claims and coverage disputes and litigating claims. He handles a broad spectrum of coverage issues and litigated claims, such as those arising from construction defects, products claims, professional liability, property and casualty claims, catastrophic injury, death, and bad faith claims. These matters involve claims running into the millions and even hundreds of millions of dollars.

Lane’s clients benefit from his role and experience as a leader in the insurance industry, including his service as the Chair of the DRI's Insurance Law Committee. Through his DRI leadership, Lane is uniquely positioned to stay abreast of the latest trends in insurance issues, including how courts are behaving and in what direction decisions are trending.
