Tyka’s launch was featured by leading legal and insurance industry publications. The media highlighted the team of 21 close-knit lawyers, all of whom practiced together at Wiley Rein LLP before launching Tyka on October 1, 2026.
This Law360 quote from founding partner Kim Melvin says it all: “For us, all 21 attorneys are dedicated solely to insurance coverage work, solely to our clients and nothing else, and we think that is an important signal to our clients and to the market.”
Based in Washington, D.C., the firm represents major carriers across five core practice areas: D&O and financial institution liability; cyber, privacy, and technology; professional E&O; general liability; and artificial intelligence.
