Greg Deschenes focuses his practice on complex commercial litigation, with an emphasis on all aspects of insurance-related litigation. Representing major insurance companies and insurance guaranty funds in state and federal courts across the country, Greg has prevailed at trial and the appellate level in cases involving property and casualty insurance coverage, bad faith, insurance insolvency and class actions.

What do you focus on?

I have over twenty-five years of experience litigating insurance coverage disputes involving environmental and toxic tort, construction defect, catastrophic losses, advertising injury and personal injury, directors and officers liability, business interruption, life and disability insurance claims.

I regularly represent a number of insurance guaranty funds in coverage litigation and disputes with receivers of insolvent insurers. I also have acted as regional counsel in New England for a Fortune 200 property and casualty insurance company in the defense of major environmental insurance coverage and bad faith/extra-contractual liability lawsuits.

I also have significant experience defending products liability, environmental, securities fraud and complex business litigation cases.
