Christopher Michael Jacobs

I focus my practice on the areas of business litigation, insurance bad faith and insurance coverage.

My business litigation practice involves an array of commercial matters, including breach of contract litigation, trade secret misappropriation and DTSA matters, trademark infringement, and disputes involving the sale of goods under UCC Article 2 and the United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods (“CISG”). My experience in international commercial litigation and arbitration matters involves issues surrounding service of process and the taking of evidence pursuant to the protocols of the Hague Convention.

In my insurance bad faith litigation practice, I have experience in actions involving construction defect claims, latent and progressive injury claims, long-tail environment exposure claims, disputed uninsured and underinsured motorist claims, first-party property losses, and excess verdicts. My insurance coverage practice involves the preparation of coverage opinions and analyses in matters involving reservation of rights, disclaimer of coverage, examinations under oath, declaratory judgments, rescission, and extracontractual exposure.
