Jennifer Farina is a partner in the Insurance Recovery, Litigation & Counseling practice group. She works with policyholders to maximize their insurance coverage for losses under a variety of insurance policies, including general liability, property, fidelity, and directors and officers policies. Her experience includes guiding companies through the complex process of securing coverage for large, long-tail liabilities under insurance policies spanning decades and involving many insurers. She engages in all aspects of litigation, from pre-litigation counseling through appeal, and has successfully assisted clients in resolving their disputes prior to litigation and through alternative dispute resolution and settlement.

Jennifer also helps policyholders avoid coverage disputes before they begin by advising them in connection with policy renewal negotiations and the appropriate handling of insurance assets and related liabilities in corporate transactions.

Her pro bono work has included successfully pursuing insurance coverage for homeowners affected by Superstorm Sandy.
