WHO WE ARE

 A combined six decades of experience as senior insurance executives and practicing attorneys have provided David Dwares and David Perry a unique perspective to address your needs, opportunities, and challenges. They have handled and successfully resolved tens of thousands of professional liability, D&O and other commercial liability claims involving primary and excess cover. Their passion for analyzing claims handling and coverage issues, solving problems and optimizing business opportunities are the driving forces behind their formation of StratagemAdvisors.
