Troy Bataille represents individuals, businesses, and insurers in matters involving professional liability, environmental compliance, insurance coverage, and a variety of forms of civil litigation. His work in these areas has gained him substantial courtroom experience as well as proficiency in cases involving an array of critical legal and professional disciplines. Troy draws from this well-rounded experience to provide clients with both preventative counsel and representation in litigation or following a governmental investigation.
Troy focuses his professional liability practice on the defense of lawyers in negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract, vexatious litigation, and similar claims commonly brought against lawyers.
He also represents real estate agents and brokers in claims involving alleged errors and omissions; psychologists in matters involving claims of malpractice and misdiagnosis; and long-term care facilities and nursing homes and their staff in professional malpractice and health care-related actions.

He regularly counsels clients through preemptive solutions for compliance with current and changing laws and after government inspections or enforcement actions, as well as the environmental aspects of commercial real estate transactions, and he has handled environmental litigation.
Troy is a part of an innovative team of lawyers and engineers that work with over 300 colleges and universities, including many top-tier institutions, in the successful development of a self-audit and disclosure program under the Environmental Protection Agency’s Audit Policy. That program has saved his clients millions in potential fines and established a benchmark for future audits of all EPA-regulated industries. Troy frequently presents to industry and trade groups on environmental compliance regulations and related topics.
Troy provides insurance coverage analysis; defends insurers in contractual and extra-contractual litigation, including bad faith; and defends clients under commercial general liability (CGL) policies.
