A Dentons team including partners Shari Klevens and Alanna Clair and associate Sarah Hannah Phillips, successfully represented an insurance carrier in a high-profile dispute involving actor Johnny Depp and his former lawyers. The Dentons team was integral in getting the case favorably resolved to all parties involved, and in avoiding further time-consuming and expensive litigation. As noted in the press releases issued by the law firm’s counsel: “The former law firm of Bloom Hergott, with the help of its insurance carrier, has favorably settled the litigation with Johnny Depp for a fraction of his original demand.”

The Dentons team navigated complex issues of insurance coverage and legal malpractice liability, working closely - primarily behind the scenes - with all lawyers involved to protect the insurance carrier and to minimize the insured’s liability to Depp. Dentons helped facilitate the settlement among impassioned personalities and also navigated pathways of defense for both the carrier and the law firm.
