Overview

Melinda focuses her practice on counseling insurance companies on directors and officers liability and professional liability insurance coverage. A seasoned commercial litigator prior to joining Bailey Cavalieri, Melinda utilizes that experience to counsel insurers in the defense and settlement of complex claims, both domestic and international, involving private, public and non-profit U.S. companies, multi-national corporations, and financial institutions. Melinda takes a practical approach to claims-handling and her participation in 100+ mediations has yielded a range of effective negotiating strategies to achieve client- and claim-specific resolutions.

Melinda’s expertise lies in primary and excess directors and officers, employment practices liability, errors and omissions, miscellaneous professional liability, and fiduciary liability policies, including representing clients in multi-insurer and multi-tower coverage disputes. Melinda also represents insurer clients in coverage and bad-faith litigation at both the trial and appellate levels in state and federal courts around the country.
