Jason P Cronic

Practice Areas

Jason represents directors and officers liability insurers and other professional liability insurers in coverage matters before federal and state courts across the country, as well as internationally. Praised by Chambers USA for his “analysis and negotiating abilities” (2015), Jason is “highly thought of for his extensive experience in litigation” and ability to “reach a great solution for you” (2017). He has been recognized since 2007 as one of Washington, DC’s “Leading Lawyers for Business.”

Jason regularly represents insurers’ interests in connection with resolution of complex securities and derivative claims through litigation at both the trial and appellate level. He has particular expertise with respect to coverage issues arising from policyholder bankruptcy and claims asserted on behalf of bankrupt estates, as well as rescission and other affirmative actions taken in defense of insurers’ rights.

While Jason’s litigation experience is extensive, he understands that clients often prefer business-driven solutions that avoid protracted legal battles. To that end, he frequently assists clients in negotiated resolutions of coverage disputes through mediation and other structured work-outs of complex claims.

Jason also assists insurers in drafting and review of policy language, particularly with respect to coverage programs concerning special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs). Additionally, he regularly advises clients with respect to claims arising under fidelity bond and commercial crime policies.
