Litigation Partner Laura Lin and Associate Pierce MacConaghy authored a Law360 article titled, “What Wis. High Court Ruling Means For Coverage Analysis,” which discussed a recent Wisconsin Supreme Court majority decision overturning existing precedent on the economic loss doctrine and integrated systems analysis in a commercial general liability insurance dispute.
