About Jonathan B. Isaacson

In addition, Mr. Isaacson has served as coverage counsel for both errors and omissions and general liability insurers at the primary and excess levels. Finally, Mr. Isaacson is well versed in the legal, business and risk management issues facing the legal cannabis industry and the ancillary business which service it, and is routinely called upon the write and speak on such topics.

Prior to joining the firm, Mr. Isaacson served as an associate with a New York litigation firm, where he litigated professional liability, product liability, general negligence and insurance coverage matters. Mr. Isaacson also analyzed complex insurance coverage issues and drafted coverage opinions for insurers.
