With a practice that spans the entire Northwest and Alaska, Bullivant has steadily built a reputation over the years as the firm of choice in fidelity and surety cases that matter.
Bullivant has garnered a national reputation as the "go to" firm for complex and difficult cases, as well as the routine assignment. Any foray into these specialized fields of practice will soon take you to a case we handled, a book we helped write or a seminar we gave. Whether the problem is a single or multi-project default with performance and payment bond claims and recovery issues, or a straight-forward license or miscellaneous bond claim, Bullivant has the experience to get the job done effectively and efficiently. The same is true regarding coverage or defense of fidelity bond claims. Our experience includes commercial crime policies, financial institution bonds, lender liability, E&O, D&O, and employee dishonesty.
At Bullivant, the most important element in our fidelity and surety practice is you, the client. We recognize that the decisions of fidelity and surety professionals who seek our input are subject to endless scrutiny by senior management, re-insurers, regulators and others. From the day a file is opened to the day it is closed, those decisions have to be predicated on the best available critical thinking and grounded in comprehensive and current advice. Timeliness and thoroughness are invariably the key to success as is a mindset of cost effectiveness.
Bullivant's philosophy is to always deliver what you need and when you need it. We do our utmost to be proactive rather than reactive. We may well call you with the answer before you call us with the question. We are fundamentally not formbook lawyers. We assume that you come to us for a quality of product that you cannot get elsewhere. Toward these ends, we invest heavily in cutting edge technology and the most current of information services. We expect to know about the things that may affect your world before you do.
We acknowledge that one cannot, by definition, be a broadly based specialist. Thus, when necessary, we freely draw on the talents of other Bullivant attorneys in related disciplines: bankruptcy, construction, finance, insurance and environmental, to name some of them. One of our strengths is this immediately available talent pool of other specialists.
