Brian Martin, a partner in the law firm of Thompson, Coe, Cousins & Irons LLP, was installed as the 10th Chairman of the Insurance Law Section of the State Bar of Texas. Martin is a frequent contributor to Insurance Journal’s “Legal Beat” column.
The Insurance Law Section has several thousand members and is one of the largest sections in the State Bar.
According to information posted on the State Bar of Texas Web site, the goal of the Insurance Law Section — in addressing substantive areas of Texas insurance law — “is to have a bi-partisan focus, balancing the interests of both policyholder lawyers and insurance company lawyers. The Section will seek to provide a forum for the Texas practitioner where all areas of substantive insurance law and procedural aspects of insurance litigation are addressed. Some of those areas include environmental coverage, directors’ and officers’ coverage, professional liability coverage, reinsurance coverage, agent/broker issues, London market issues, emerging coverage issues, regulatory issues and many others.”
