Jason P. Gosselin

Jason concentrates his practice on representing insurers and financial services companies in high-exposure coverage and sales practices litigation. He has extensive experience handling matters involving life, health, disability, and property and casualty insurance, as well as annuities, debt cancellation products, and fidelity bonds. His work frequently involves defending insurers against claims of bad-faith handling, improper sales practices, ERISA violations, and class actions. Jason also represents insurers in market conduct examinations and regulatory enforcement proceedings.

Beyond insurance litigation, Jason advises and represents businesses and individuals in a wide range of commercial disputes, including breach of contract actions, employment matters, nuisance and trespass claims, and civil racketeering cases.

While an aggressive litigator, Jason strives to protect clients from the disruptive and costly impact that litigation can have on business operations. Above all, Jason seeks to integrate clients’ business imperatives into an efficient strategy to tackle their most critical legal problems.
