SDV was founded more than 25 years ago with one mission: to level the playing field for insurance policyholders. Its singular focus on insurance coverage law and unwavering commitment to policyholders of all types have made it a leader in insurance litigation and risk management strategy.
SDV is among the elite law firms in the United States representing policyholders in insurance coverage disputes, and one of even fewer national firms whose practice is focused exclusively in this area. We provide unique solutions to unique client needs, with the experience and expertise typically found at a Big Law firm but with the personal service and cost benefit of a boutique firm. We advise on the purchase of new policies and assist in renewals and the modification of existing policies to ensure the coverage meets your needs and, when a dispute arises, we zealously advocate for your interests so you receive the full value of the coverage you purchased.
Our Partnership
Fenchurch Law is proud to announce our partnership with Saxe Doernberger & Vita, P.C., uniting two market-leading firms dedicated exclusively to representing policyholders in coverage disputes.
With a shared commitment to levelling the playing field between policyholders and insurers. Both our firms focus on complex, high-value claims and work closely with the insurance broker community—never bringing claims against brokers. By combining our expertise, we strengthen our ability to deliver exceptional results for multinational policyholders and brokers worldwide.
