Molly Olds

Molly Olds helps clients maximize the value of their insurance assets. She advises on coverage at every stage, from the first notice and tender through negotiation, alternative dispute resolution, litigation, and appeal. Molly has handled coverage matters under general liability, directors and officers, cyber, property, and specialty insurance programs. Her experience covers a wide range of claims and losses, including:

• Environmental and long-tail liability, including asbestos claims

• D&O and management liability

• Cyber, data breach, and privacy liability

• Products liability

• Aviation liability

• Construction defect

• First-party property and business interruption losses

• Insurer bad faith

Molly is committed to finding practical, cost-effective ways to recover for her clients. Where possible, she seeks to resolve coverage disputes without litigation. When litigation is needed, she pursues her clients’ coverage rights aggressively. Molly also advises clients before a claim arises. She counsels them on policy wording, renewals, and on risk mitigation strategies, so their insurance programs respond when it matters most.

Maintaining an active pro bono practice, Molly recently obtained a confidential settlement for a client in a dispute over the denial of life insurance benefits.

Molly graduated summa cum laude from both the University of Hawaiʻi and the University of Hawaiʻi William S. Richardson School of Law. In law school, she served as co-editor-in-chief of the University of Hawaiʻi Law Review and was an active member of the Hawaiʻi Innocence Project.
