UCB is correct, in my experience (i have friends in insurance defence too).
Not all insurance companies will lawyer up right away. They may way until a SOC is filed or when a Defence is requested.
Most insurance companies now do have in-house lawyers that deal with PI defence, but the majority are still dealt with by external counsel.
