Paulette S. Sarp

With more than 30 years of experience, Paulette works with insurance professionals to manage coverage and extra-contractual disputes in state and federal courts in jurisdictions nationwide. She handles claims-made and occurrence-based coverage, as well as commercial and personal lines, including commercial general liability, directors and officers, professional liability, workers’ compensation/employers liability, commercial auto, homeowners, personal auto, and excess/umbrella policies.

Paulette’s proactive approach ranges from preparing a well-reasoned letter to opposing counsel before a lawsuit is filed, to litigating the case all the way through trial and appeal. In addition, Paulette assists with policy drafting, counsels clients on changes in statutes and case law that affect coverage and claim-handling obligations, and prepares opinion letters that analyze coverage and potential exposure for first- and third-party claims.
