Pete Thompson has practiced law for over thirty years, and maintains a diverse civil litigation practice that involves him in major matters throughout the United States.
For much of his career, his work has been focused on the representation of insurance carriers in complex coverage disputes and so-called “bad faith” cases in which a party seeks extracontractual remedies against a carrier. This work has involved him in trial and appellate level engagements in state and federal courts around the country, involving a wide array of lines of insurance, ranging from general liability, excess and umbrella, directors and officers liability, and professional liability policies to first-party property and builder’s risk policies, among others. His practice now also includes the representation of individual and corporate clients in the DC area, and he regularly counsels commercial real estate developers in connection with insurance-related issues.
Prior to founding Thompson, Loss & Judge, along with partners Lew Loss and Tom Judge, in 2003, Mr. Thompson practiced for eighteen years with the Washington, DC, law firm of Ross, Dixon & Bell, where he also served for seven years as Managing Partner. Before coming to Washington in 1985, Mr. Thompson was a litigator with the law firm of Paxton & Seasongood in Cincinnati, Ohio, where he also served as one of the founders of the Volunteer Lawyers Project, a pro bono initiative that for almost thirty years has provided volunteer legal services to indigent clients throughout Southwestern Ohio.
Mr. Thompson was named a “Washington, DC Super Lawyer” in 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010, and has spoken at seminars and conferences in the United States and abroad, addressing subjects ranging from insurance and litigation issues to law firm management. Outside of his legal pursuits, he has been involved in a variety of volunteer activities and currently serves as president of Rock Creek Rowing, a competitive masters rowing team based on the Potomac River.
