BatesCarey LLP once again ranked as a top-tier insurance coverage firm in Chambers USA, the legal industry’s most respected rankings list.

In its 2017 guide, Chambers awarded the firm the prestigious Band 1 ranking in Illinois in the category of Insurance Dispute Resolution: Insurer. Three firm attorneys – Robert J. Bates, Jr., Scott L. Carey and Adam H. Fleischer – also received individual ranking recognitions.

Chambers, which has ranked BatesCarey since 2004, recognized the firm for its work with “significant insurance industry clients in an array of coverage disputes” and its “combination of expertise and advocacy.”

Firm founding partner Robert J. Bates, Jr. was ranked in both the Dispute Resolution and Reinsurance categories. Clients described him as “one of the most knowledgeable insurance law practitioners in the country (with) an encyclopedic knowledge of the law.”

Scott L. Carey, also a founding partner, was “highly respected” for his work, particularly in railroad-linked claims and Bermuda coverage matters and was lauded as a “terrific lawyer and a tremendous resource.”

Adam H. Fleischer was honored for his handling of catastrophic damage and professional liability disputes. He was recognized as “very intelligent, bright and creative when it comes to claim resolutions.”
