Few liability issues have demanded more sustained attention from corporate legal, risk management, finance, and insurance teams than asbestos. For many organizations, liability from asbestos exposures has spanned decades, generating complex questions around litigation strategy, claim valuation, insurance recovery, financial reporting, and long-term liability management.

Since its founding, KCIC has been at the forefront of asbestos liability consulting. We have advised companies across a wide range of industries, helping them understand and manage some of the largest and most complex asbestos exposures in the United States. Our team combines deep subject matter expertise with sophisticated analytical capabilities to provide clients with actionable insights into both current obligations and future risks.

KCIC supports clients throughout the lifecycle of asbestos-related matters. We develop liability forecasts, analyze claim trends, evaluate settlement strategies, support restructuring and bankruptcy initiatives, assess trust-related impacts, and help defendants maximize the value of their insurance assets. Our professionals regularly work alongside corporate leadership, in-house counsel, outside counsel, finance teams, insurers, and other stakeholders to answer critical questions that influence business strategy and financial decision-making.

What distinguishes KCIC's asbestos practice is the depth of our experience and data. Having analyzed asbestos claims and liabilities for decades, we understand not only the historical evolution of the litigation landscape, but also the emerging trends that shape future exposures. Our insights are informed by one of the industry's most comprehensive asbestos litigation databases, which captures and analyzes more than 90% of asbestos-related personal injury lawsuits filed in the United States. This data foundation also powers KCIC's annual Asbestos Litigation: Year in Review report, a widely recognized resource that tracks filing activity, jurisdictional developments, plaintiff firm trends, and other key changes across the litigation environment. This perspective allows us to develop customized analyses that reflect each client's unique portfolio, litigation profile, insurance coverage, and business objectives.

Whether a company is managing a mature asbestos liability, evaluating a transaction, preparing financial disclosures, pursuing insurance recoveries, or responding to changing litigation dynamics, KCIC provides the clarity, rigor, and strategic insight needed to make informed decisions.
