Meredith Werner has represented insurers in connection with thousands of securities class actions, derivative actions, merger lawsuits, and ERISA stock drop suits. She has deep experience assessing and resolving shareholder litigation on behalf of D&O insurers. Meredith frequently represents insurers in the mediation of their highest profile and most significant matters.

Meredith has been repeatedly recognized as a leading lawyer for insurers by Chambers USA, which notes her expertise in professional liability coverage disputes.
“Meredith’s talent and industry knowledge is indisputable. Meredith’s gravitas, negotiation skills, and her creative approach to solving extremely complicated problems make her an invaluable asset to any claim she is involved in.”
