Jarrett E. Ganer is a partner at McDowell Hetherington LLP and has been with the firm since its inception.

Jarrett maintains a general complex commercial litigation practice with a focus on serving clients in the insurance and financial services industries. The strength in Jarrett’s practice though lies in his ability to bring the same high-quality advocacy and attentive client representation to straightforward coverage disputes as he does to multifaceted, multi-billion dollar class actions.

Over the past fifteen years, Jarrett has actively and successfully represented clients in some of the most complex and novel litigation facing the life insurance industry. Jarrett has unparalleled experience advising and representing clients with respect to cost of insurance rate adjustments and market conduct and regulatory issues. Jarrett is also go-to counsel for many life insurers grappling with claims of wrongful policy lapse, successfully representing clients in class action and individual claims brought in courts from California to New York. Jarrett is perennially recognized as one of the nation’s leading trial lawyers on issues related to life settlements and stranger-originated life insurance (STOLI), with extensive experience litigating matters related to secondary market transactions involving life and annuity products.

Beyond insurance, Jarrett provides first-party representation to clients in the energy, construction, and real estate industries. Jarrett seeks to smartly, effectively and efficiently build long term relationships with his clients and puts their needs first. Jarrett’s practice is truly nationwide, having acted as lead counsel on matters in at least 25 states, in both state and federal courts.
