Nancy Jerian Marr

Nancy Marr brings a national perspective to her ERISA and insurance litigation practice.  Serving as in-house counsel for a Fortune 500 insurance company on the East Coast, she managed cases across several circuits.  She previously practiced with a boutique litigation firm in Los Angeles.  Her current focus is in litigation involving life, health and disability coverage, ERISA fiduciary liability, annuity contracts, and bad faith actions.
