About Paris
Paris focuses on first- and third-party insurance coverage disputes, business disputes, and catastrophic accidents. He has helped clients through trials, appeals, arbitrations, and mediations.
In insurance, Paris has a national practice representing domestic and foreign carriers. He counsels on complex and novel claims, as well as routine ones. For instance, he has unique experience with commercial space launch claims, and he secured a then-novel victory on biometric privacy coverage.
Moreover, his experience spans many lines, including commercial general liability, commercial property, environmental contamination, professional liability, directors and officers, excess/umbrella, equipment breakdown, product recall/contamination, commercial auto, managed care, life insurance, market placements, captive programs, manuscript placements, and facultative and treaty reinsurance.
