Profile
Greg Van Houten is a seasoned civil litigator who focuses on insurance recovery. Greg's significant experience contributed to his recognition as a "Rising Star" in insurance coverage by Super Lawyers, Thomson Reuters, 2018-2019. In his practice, he represents clients in a wide range of industries and sectors, including industrial manufacturing, oil and gas, biofuels, banking, food and beverage and electronic trading. Greg has helped those clients recover insurance under a variety of insurance products, including policies covering Directors and Officers (D&O), Commercial General Liability (CGL), Property Damage and Business Interruption, Representations and Warranties and Cyber Liability. He represents both small and large policyholders, and he knows which litigation tools will cause insurers to rethink their delays and denials and begin paying what his clients bargained for.
Greg also has a diverse general litigation background, as he has litigated cases involving malpractice and professional negligence, commercial contracts, and employment. He also has secured a number of victories for pro bono clients, including a five-figure tutoring reimbursement award under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.
Greg earned his law degree from the Georgetown University Law Center, where he won the Greenhalgh Trial Advocacy Tournament and received the International Academy of Trial Lawyers 2015 Student Advocacy Award.
