Jennifer Kalvestran admitted to American College of Coverage Counsel
Jennifer Kalvestran, partner at Anderson, McPharlin & Conners LLP has been elected as a fellow of the American College of Coverage Counsel (ACCC), the preeminent association of U.S., Canadian, and Bermudan lawyers who represent the interests of insurers and policyholders.
Jennifer represents insurers on a broad range of coverage issues falling under primary and excess policies, with a focus on long-tail liabilities and other general liability, pollution liability, and professional liability coverage matters. Jennifer also handles first- and third-party coverage issues under business operations policies, automobile policies, and other specialty coverages. In this role, Jennifer also counsels insurers as to bad faith claims that policyholders might make, providing a commonsense, measured approach intended to avoid such claims.
When coverage litigation is unavoidable, Jennifer represents insurers in all aspects of litigation in various jurisdictions in the Western United States, including trial practice, mediations, and depositions, bringing a practical perspective to planning and executing these dispute resolution and litigation strategies.
The ACCC, established in 2012, is an invitation-only organization of senior lawyers who have devoted most of their practice to insurance disputes for 15 years or more. The ACCC’s Fellows include many of the most prominent members of the insurance law bars of the United States and Canada, as well as Honorary Fellows from academia and the judiciary.
The ACCC focuses on educating all sectors involved in the field of insurance law – including the judiciary, legal and insurance professionals, law students and businesses – on cutting edge, emerging, and critical issues such as developing trends in insurance law and bad faith, trial practice and alternative dispute resolution, policy formation and claims handling.
The ACCC’s mission is to advance the creative, ethical and efficient resolution of insurance coverage and extracontractual disputes; to enhance the civility and quality of the practice of insurance law; to provide peer-reviewed scholarship; and to improve the relationships among the members of our profession.
“The ACCC is delighted to welcome Jennifer Kalvestran as the latest member to become actively involved in its work,” said Stephen Pate, president of ACCC.
