Scott P. Ward is a Partner in the Irvine office of GRSM. For 20 years, Mr. Ward has devoted his practice to representing carriers in complex insurance matters involving first party and third-party coverages. He has drafted opinions analyzing general liability, commercial property, personal injury and advertising injury, homeowners’, commercial and personal auto, directors and officers and professional liability coverages provided under standard ISO and manuscript policies.

Scott also has significant insurance litigation experience, prevailing in bad faith, declaratory relief and equitable contribution cases filed in California state and federal courts. His approach is to thoroughly analyze the coverage issues of each case early in the litigation to develop strategies leading to the insurer’s prompt and successful resolution of the case.

He graduated from the University of Washington in 1991, cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa, and graduated from the UCLA School of Law in 1995. After graduating law school, he worked for a Los Angeles full-service law firm. Since 2003, Scott has worked exclusively in insurance law for firms located in Southern California.
