He is a senior partner in the firm’s Insurance and Catastrophic Loss Litigation Group. Jon has over twenty-five years of experience in large loss insurance coverage matters. He has litigated matters ranging from Y2K, to the Twin Towers litigation, to flood and catastrophe claims, and current Covid-19 disputes.  

Jon has litigated in state and federal courts nationwide, regularly representing insurers in high-profile, first party property coverage disputes, bad faith actions, and recovery matters. Jon’s practice includes providing advice to insurers on policy wording and new form development.
