INSURANCE LITIGATOR ROBERT LATHAM JOINS ARCHER NORRIS

WALNUT CREEK, CALIF., July 30, 2009 – Archer Norris announced today that Robert A. Latham III has joined the firm as special counsel in its insurance litigation practice. Latham joins the firm from Lewis Brisbois where he was a partner. He  brings more than 20 years of insurance litigation experience to Archer Norris.

“I am pleased to welcome an attorney of Bob Latham’s caliber to Archer Norris,” commented managing partner Gene Blackard. “The current economic climate has generated considerable challenges for insurance companies. Our insurance clients need legal counsel that they can rely on to manage bad faith claims and reinsurance interests. Bob brings a wealth of experience to our insurance litigation and coverage practices that will keep us on the cutting edge of insurance law and industry trends for our insurance carrier clients and the companies they insure.”

“Archer Norris provides the right blend of sophisticated industry knowledge and legal acumen to complement my practice,” said Latham. “I am privileged to join a group of attorneys who are recognized as leaders in the field of insurance litigation.”

Latham litigates for insurance companies in first and third-party bad faith claim handling and underwriting cases. In the course of his career, he has handled numerous policy rescission and cancellation actions, drafted policy exclusions, and litigated reinsurers’ interests in ceding company liquidations. A frequent and sought-after speaker, Latham addresses insurers in California and other states for their claim handling and special investigative unit certifications.
