Jeremy J. Osher is a seasoned litigator who has spent the last two decades representing clients in a wide range of matters, including insurance coverage, complex business litigation, partnership disputes, labor and employment, real estate and entertainment litigation. Mr. Osher works closely with his clients to develop strategies geared toward obtaining the “best result” in the most efficient and cost-effective manner, whether that means negotiating a favorable settlement before a lawsuit is filed or taking a case through trial. Recognizing that there is no “one size fits all” approach to litigation, Mr. Osher prides himself on ascertaining his clients’ specific needs, explaining the options available to achieve his clients’ goals and then achieving those goals.

Mr. Osher counsels insurance policyholders with respect to coverage and related matters, including first and third party property-casualty issues, bodily injury, property damage, advertising and personal injury coverages, professional liability, directors and officers insurance and bad faith. He successfully has obtained six and seven figure recoveries for his policyholder clients. Having litigated insurance matters throughout his career, Mr. Osher recognizes virtually every litigation matter has an insurance component, and that success often rests on exploiting the availability of coverage in a given dispute.

In addition to his successful insurance practice, Mr. Osher has prosecuted and defended numerous labor and employment disputes, in which he has helped employees to maximize recoveries and employers minimize exposure. Mr. Osher also has represented individuals and entities in disputes involving breach of contract, fraud, unfair competition, breach of fiduciary duty and professional negligence. Whether these cases require mediation, arbitration or trial, Mr. Osher aggressively represents his clients’ interests, but always with an eye toward minimizing attorney’s fees and costs to the client.
