Jay Donovan has been elected as a fellow of the American College of Coverage Counsel (ACCC), the preeminent association representing the interests of insurers and policyholders in insurance policy disputes.
Jay is an experienced commercial litigator and chair of Foster Garvey’s Insurance Coverage practice, where he exclusively represents policyholders in complex insurance coverage disputes. He also brings extensive trial and appellate court experience across a wide range of commercial and municipal litigation matters.
“Jay’s admission to the ACCC is a fitting recognition of his experience and leadership in insurance coverage,” said Tim Filer, Chair of Foster Garvey’s Litigation practice. “It is a well-deserved honor that reflects his strong commitment to the field.”
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 Jay as the latest member to become actively involved in its work,” said Debra Varner, president of ACCC.
