Jason P. Gosselin

Jason has devoted much of his career to representing insurers and financial services institutions in coverage and benefit disputes, including claims involving life, health, disability, property and casualty, and transportation insurance policies, annuities and debt cancellation products. Jason also represents insurers facing allegations of bad-faith claims handling, improper sales practices, ERISA disputes and class action claims. He represents his insurer clients in market conduct examinations and regulatory enforcement actions. In addition to insurers, Jason represents business owners and individuals in a variety of commercial matters, including claims involving breach of contract, employment disputes, nuisance and trespass, and civil racketeering.

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