Saxe Doernberger & Vita leverages its specialized practice with a small but growing team to benefit its insurance clients to the tune of nearly $48 million a year in recoveries.

The Hamden-based insurance litigation boutique describes its practice as a “niche within a niche,” referring to its decision to solely represent policyholders in coverage disputes. But limiting the client base has not limited the work. In 2013, the firm opened 244 new files, added five attorneys and six staffers, and made commitments to hire two more lawyers in the early part of this year.
