Steve Brigance

Steve started his legal career with an independent federal agency 40-plus years ago. While with an independent federal agency, he won a precedent-setting $1 billion case against a major transportation company. He went on to private practice in Washington D.C. with a large premier D.C. law firm. From there he went to Texas to serve as general counsel of litigation for a large RR company. Steve then established his law firm and became, among other things, outside general counsel for a large midwestern utility company.

In 2000, Steve joined a large long-term care company as their general counsel of litigation. There, he set up an unprecedented regional counsel structure and partnered with the company’s board of directors, CEO, and business heads, along with risk managers, claims handlers, and insurance providers to establish an unparalleled defense system, which became a benchmark for long-term care insurance providers and their insured companies.

Since 2006, Steve has been head of his own company, Litigation Solutions Group, which advises companies nationally on large litigation resolution and business redesign. He also established and continues to lead 4ourelders, Inc., a company designed to assist the long-term care industry and its customers in improving care and service. He also serves as outside general counsel for a non-long-term care health care company.
