Peter Morgan

Peter J. Morgan joins Meyer | Shumrick after more than twenty-five years litigating insurance coverage and bad faith disputes, most recently as a partner in Denver. He took his undergraduate degree at Montana State University in Bozeman, earned his J.D. at the University of Colorado, and was admitted to the Montana bar in 2024.

He has worked both sides of the coverage line. For most of his career he represented insurers in claims arising under commercial general liability, professional liability, property and builders’ risk, excess and umbrella, fidelity, errors-and-omissions, directors-and-officers, homeowners, automobile, and uninsured/underinsured motorist policies. More recently he has represented policyholders pressing claims against those same carriers — which means he has usually seen a denial argued from the other chair before he answers it.

That coverage work sits directly alongside the firm’s construction practice: builders’ risk and surety questions, additional-insured tenders, and the professional liability of design and construction professionals. Peter has tried insurance and construction cases at the district court and appellate levels.
