What We Do
Focus Spending, Predict Case Costs and Mitigate Risk
Since our founding nearly 20 years ago, we’ve worked with many small P&C and non-standard insurance carriers utilizing both limited liability and standard policies.

As a leader in the non-standard insurance defense field throughout Texas, we offer customizable solutions at competitive hourly, fixed fee or hybrid rates to achieve efficient and effective litigation defense results.
Customizable Case Management Data Reports
Bain & Barkley uses data reporting to help clients efficiently and consistently manage their cases. At the initiation of an engagement, we examine each carrier’s long term legal and business objectives. We target different possible conclusions for each case and set the tactical goals to achieve strategic objectives. We then provide weekly or monthly reports with statistical information on case activity that supports claims management and decision making.
Our customizable client reports can include any number of variables. Current clients track information such as:
- Cases in active litigation
- Venue
- Jurisdiction
- Litigation Costs to Date
- Number of Days Open
- Cases Settled
