Litchfield Cavo LLP is a client-based, service-driven law firm, committed to providing the very highest quality of legal advice and advocacy. We recognize that our success must be earned every day to maintain the strong and long-lasting bonds that we enjoy with our clients:

HARD WORK. At Litchfield Cavo LLP we take a hands-on approach to the representation of clients. We believe that every client is entitled to the judgment and experience of our most senior attorneys in the advice we give and in the litigation we prosecute and defend. We serve our clients, and seek to distinguish ourselves by employing the skills, wisdom and efficiency that come with long experience in insurance coverage, defense litigation, and business litigation to every matter entrusted to us.

RESPONSIVENESS. To be "client-based" and "service-driven" means that at Litchfield Cavo LLP we make our decisions based upon what will best serve our clients. Putting clients first, and responding to their needs, is what distinguishes our attitude. Promptly returned phone calls, careful and early evaluation of cases, accurate litigation budgeting, timely reporting, and strict compliance with billing and litigation handling guidelines add value to our legal services. We appreciate the need for controlling legal expense and so we staff and handle our cases with an eye to achieving our clients’ objectives economically and efficiently, including effective use of alternative dispute resolution techniques.

FOCUS. At Litchfield Cavo LLP we concentrate on representing insurers in coverage disputes, defending their insureds in liability litigation, and representing a wide range of business clients in nearly every type of commercial and civil litigation. Our litigation practice encompasses a broad variety of subjects, including insurance coverage, environmental issues, asbestos, mold, product liability, premises liability, trademark and copyright infringement, transportation, employment discrimination, banking and financial disputes, professional liability and contractual disputes. We center our efforts upon the legal and procedural issues that concern our clients and we constantly monitor developing tort and insurance law to analyze trends and alert our clients. Our lawyers teach as well as attend continuing education and current developments seminars, and serve on the insurance coverage and defense committees of the ABA Section of Litigation, ABA Section of Tort and Insurance Practice, Midwest Environmental Coverage Association, and Defense Research Institute.

CREATIVITY. By applying our experience and specialized knowledge to our clients' problems, Litchfield Cavo LLP provides thoughtful analysis and creative approaches to their solution. Insight and sound legal judgment is the essence and true value of our work product. Creativity makes our services more valuable and makes our work more interesting and challenging.

CIVILITY. At Litchfield Cavo LLP, how we deal with our opponents, our co-defendants, the courts, and each other is almost as important as how we treat our clients. Our aggressive prosecution and defense of litigation is tempered by simple civility and fairness. Treating the participants in litigation with due respect avoids needless and expensive wrangling, earns the respect of the courts before which we practice, and allows for earlier and more favorable settlements. Applying these values in our working relationships makes for a positive, cooperative law firm environment in which everyone works together for the benefit of the client.

LONG-TERM RELATIONSHIPS. Our objective at Litchfield Cavo LLP is to develop a stable, long-term relationship with each client, based upon mutual respect and partnering to achieve our shared objectives. We recognize that our success as a law firm will depend not just upon our legal work and the results we achieve, but also on the strength of the bonds formed with our clients in the course of their work.
