Latham & Watkins Adds Greg Van Houten to Washington Litigation Team

Van Houten transitions to Latham from Haynes Boone, where he developed a reputation for securing maximum recoveries for Fortune 500 clients. His expertise covers a broad spectrum of policy types, ranging from directors and officers liability to cyber, pollution, and Bermuda form policies. Beyond pure litigation, he provides strategic counsel on insurance program optimization, liability divestitures, and the insurance complexities inherent in mergers and acquisitions.

Mandy Reeves, managing partner of the Washington office, noted that Van Houten’s arrival reinforces the firm’s ability to handle intricate business challenges. John Wilson, chair of the firm’s Insurance Counseling & Recovery Practice, emphasized that the hire addresses a rising client demand for sophisticated, high-level insurance advocacy. A graduate of Georgetown University Law Center, Van Houten will integrate his practice into Latham’s global platform to support clients across litigation, transactional, and restructuring matters.
