What We Do
A Different Kind of Law Firm
Bain & Barkley isn’t your typical insurance defense firm, in the best way possible. More than 30 years of insurance defense claims handling litigation experience by each shareholder provides us with both a breadth and depth of knowledge in the insurance industry. From the beginning of each new carrier relationship, the firm’s name partners are involved in examining the carrier’s long-term legal and business objectives, targeting different possible conclusions for each case and setting the tactical goals to achieve their strategic objectives. The partners provide leadership and direction to the firm’s associates who are also highly experienced in insurance litigation. Along with our support staff, they are focused on the unique challenges claims managers face: lowering the open case inventory rate, decreasing L&E costs and managing billing.
Focus Spending, Predict Case Costs and Mitigate Risk
Since our founding 20 years ago, we’ve worked with many insurance carriers. Our staff includes experienced attorneys and paralegals working together using advanced technology to create efficient relationships that help to contain litigation costs. When requested, we offer customizable fee solutions to achieve efficient and effective litigation defense results.

Why Bain & Barkley?
The Bain & Barkley difference is that we are service providers who understand the unique and changing dynamics of the non-standard insurance industry. Our partnered carriers have discovered that having us litigate the bulk of their docket creates economies of scale and a clear view of measurable cost savings.
