Hartford-based Robinson & Cole hasn’t been boasting about its litigation achievements — but it has every reason to. For a host of reasons, the firm is the winner of the Connecticut Law Tribune’s Litigation Department of the Year Award in the Large Law Firm category. Among its latest accomplishments are several that are being reported here for the first time.

The most notable is Robinson & Cole’s recent U.S. Supreme Court win in the case of Standard Fire Insurance V. Knowles, an important decision for insurance companies that makes them less vulnerable to state class actions.
