Moutes-Lee, who previously worked at Lewis Brisbois, brings significant experience in high-stakes insurance coverage and bad faith litigation. She specializes in claims and lawsuits stemming from first-party coverage disputes and suspicious losses under both commercial and personal policies. Meanwhile, Berlin, also from Lewis Brisbois, is known for her expertise in representing insurance companies in coverage disputes and bad faith litigation across various types of policies, including automobile, homeowners, and commercial property policies.
The addition of Moutes-Lee and Berlin is a strategic move to expand Hinshaw’s footprint in the insurance sector, particularly in critical areas of litigation and dispute resolution.
