TittmannWeix helps insurance companies resolve coverage disputes through efficient, creative, and results-driven strategies. The firm embraces the net- work rather than office firm model to allow its team to work from their locations across the country, cov- ering all time zones and offering regional specialties from the ground. TittmannWeix’s coverage litigation team blends incisive legal skill with a cost-conscious, resolution-focused approach. The firm strives to min-
imise legal spend through early settlement, stream- lined discovery, and creative solutions – yet stand ready to litigate aggressively when needed to secure favourable outcomes. That approach led to victory for Certain Underwriters in the Zoom privacy cover- age litigation in which TittmannWeix secured summa- ry judgment eliminating any coverage obligation on the USD85 million settlement. That win was affirmed by the California Court of Appeals in May 2026.
