When the nation’s leading insurers and insurance trade groups face their most challenging issues, they turn to Crowell & Moring’s Laura Foggan, chair of the firm’s Insurance/Reinsurance Group, to champion their interests. Laura litigates complex, high-value claims in trial and appellate courts, and counsels clients on pivotal emerging issues. Repeatedly named to Benchmark Litigation’s “Top 250 Women Litigators” list, she is lead trial counsel in several of the most significant insurance coverage matters pending in trial courts today. At the same time, Laura is nationally known for handling high-profile appellate work and strategic counseling on litigation trends and emerging issues. Addressing challenges such as how existing legal schemes adapt to address new technologies, she advises clients on issues relating to the rapid development of technology, including risks and opportunities related to artificial intelligence, autonomous vehicles, and the commercial use of drones, as well as privacy and cyber liability, blockchain, and the Internet of Things.

Laura has the rare distinction of being recognized as both a leading trial lawyer in high-stakes coverage matters and a preeminent appellate practitioner. She is involved in significant trial court litigation, such as Air Lease Corp.’s insurance claim for more than $1 billion allegedly denied because leased aircraft remain in Russia following the invasion of Ukraine, and whether coverage exists for suits by state counties and municipalities seeking to transfer hundreds of millions of dollars in lead paint remediation costs to lead paint manufacturers and distributors. Laura has decades of experience handling insurance disputes of all types, including claims handling and bad faith issues. 

Laura has participated in over 300 significant appeals across the country, including numerous seminal cases establishing key insurance law precedents. She is the go-to attorney nationwide for insurer amicus support in important appeals. Her clients include the Complex Insurance Claims Litigation Association, American Property Casualty Insurance Association, and National Association of Mutual Insurance Cos., as well as leading domestic and global insurance companies.

A thought leader at the helm of Crowell’s Insurance/Reinsurance Group, Laura has increasingly focused the group on how evolving risks bring about new exposures and opportunities for insurers. With her keen sense of the latest industry developments, Laura helps insurance companies address emerging issues and maximize opportunities. She also advocates in legislative and regulatory matters for both individual insurers and industry trade groups. 

Laura was tapped to serve as the designated liaison for the American Law Institute’s “Restatement of the Law, Liability Insurance,” further cementing her stature as a key leader of the insurance bar. She is serving as the American Property Casualty Insurance Association’s liaison to the ALI’s “Restatement of the Law Third, Torts: Miscellaneous Provisions” project. A Chambers-ranked Band 1 practitioner consistently recognized as one of “America’s Leading Lawyers for Business” in insurance, Laura also is increasingly looked to as an extremely knowledgeable arbitrator in insurance disputes.
