Defense Research Institute.
Northwest Environmental Claims Association. From our offices in Portland and Seattle, Gordon & Polscer represents insurers and other corporate clients in complex insurance coverage and defense litigation and in connection with novel risk management issues. Our partners came together in 1994 from several prominent firms out of a shared interest in partnering with clients to reduce the high cost of litigation through stringent cost management, creative approaches to settlement, prompt and effective use of Alternative Dispute Resolution, and pro-active and high quality representation.
We encourage "alternative" billing arrangements, detailed litigation planning and open communication with clients.
Our practice is particularly geared toward toxic torts, environmental matters and other "long-tail" exposures and to emerging areas such as technology-related torts and mass tort claims. We advise clients on national programs, and we are active in litigation throughout the Western United States.
