Jessica advises local and international insurers on large, complex coverage matters and disputes, with a particular focus on directors & officers, cyber and information technology, management, and professional liability. She also defends insured directors & officers, engineers, IT service providers, and financial advisors against claims, including large-scale securities class actions. Her advice and approach to managing claims is technically precise while retaining a commercial and pragmatic perspective, with the interests of all stakeholders in mind.

Jessica has particular expertise in privacy law, which she applies to her practice in guiding insureds through large catastrophic cyber events, including events with significant multi-party and/or multi-jurisdictional impacts. She advises insureds on privacy regulatory issues that arise thereafter, including managing resulting third party liability risks and claims. She publishes articles and presents seminars to clients regularly on this rapidly developing area.
