Alex Henlin has 20 years of experience counseling and representing insurers and reinsurers in arbitrations, litigation and alternative dispute resolution proceedings across New England. He has served as lead counsel in both trial court and appellate proceedings and brings a practical perspective on intricate insurance coverage matters. Well-versed in primary and excess-layer insurance programs, encompassing both first-party and third-party risks, Alex frequently addresses coverage issues in general liability, D&O, E&O and professional liability policies, including emerging risks.

Alex has guided both cedants and reinsurers in arbitration, handling facultative certificates and treaty programs. He routinely advises both ceding and reinsuring companies on their rights and responsibilities. Alex's experience includes the defense of consumer financial claims against lenders and loan servicers, and he has successfully defended his clients before both trial and appeals courts across the New England region, in addition to finding resolution to dozens of other claims.

Outside the office, Alex is an active part of his community. He is a past chairman of American Legion New Hampshire Boys State and remains dedicated to the program, and he previously served as president of the Georgetown Club of Boston.
