Tobias Plath

Expert guidance through a complex insurance coverage dispute

When our company faced a significant and unexpected denial of coverage for a substantial property damage claim, the situation felt overwhelming. We were referred to Tobias Plath at Heuking, and it was the best decision we could have made. Despite his relatively recent admission to the bar, his command of insurance law is immediately apparent and deeply impressive. His recognition by Best Lawyers in Insurance Law is clearly well-earned, as he demonstrated a nuanced understanding of policy language and German insurance regulations that far exceeded our expectations. Tobias meticulously dissected our complex policy, identifying several key provisions the insurer had misinterpreted. His strategy was not just reactive but proactive; he crafted a compelling, evidence-based position that left little room for the insurer to maintain its denial. Throughout the process, his communication was exceptional—he translated dense legal concepts into clear business impacts for our leadership team in Seattle. His professionalism under pressure and his collaborative approach with our internal counsel were invaluable. The result was a full reversal of the denial and a settlement that fully addressed our losses, all achieved without protracted litigation. Tobias Plath is a sharp, strategic attorney who delivers outstanding results. I would not hesitate to engage his services again for any insurance-related matter.
