Jeremy I. Hager is the Founder and Principal Attorney of Hager Law PLLC, an independent litigation and transactional practice focusing on aviation and insurance law, civil and commercial litigation, and general business counsel. The Firm maintains offices in New York City and Westchester County.
Mr. Hager brings a wealth of aviation, litigation and dispute-resolution experience to the practice, providing clients and colleagues alike with skilled and insightful counsel in the fields of airline, business, commercial, and general aviation, products liability, and insurance law.
With more than 15 years serving the insurance industry and more than twelve focused in aviation, general and products liability, we are pleased to represent insurance carriers, claims managers, and their insureds on engagements ranging from civil and commercial litigation, to business and commercial transactions, to operational and regulatory counsel.
Representing aviation and insurance clients in claims arising from construction site accidents, premises, auto, and general liability, as well as in actions of particular legal and technical complexity ranging from wrongful death and catastrophic bodily injury, to insurance coverage and indemnity claims, to high-value subrogation and commercial disputes, Mr. Hager’s trial and appellate practice spans the state and federal courts of New York, Connecticut and New Jersey, and other venues throughout the country.
A natural and value-added complement to the litigation practice; Mr. Hager advises fixed-base operators, flight schools, mechanics and maintenance facilities, airport service vendors and other aviation enterprises on business and commercial transactions, leasing and indemnity matters, due diligence and corporate governance.
In addition to entities in the aviation sector, Mr. Hager serves as outside general counsel to companies and consulting firms in the fields of information technology, web design, marketing and branding, and real property management, and in the entertainment industry.
Mr. Hager maintains a close and long-standing professional relationship with Alimonti Law Offices, P.C., and its founding partner, Rick Alimonti. Since 2004, Mr. Hager has provided a New York County satellite office for this internationally-regarded aerospace and insurance law firm. He also is regularly retained as local and special litigation counsel by attorneys and firms throughout the country seeking effective and seasoned co-counsel. |
In the litigation and insurance defense arena, Mr. Hager has served as lead counsel in numerous matters within the aviation and insurance fields of airline, general and business aviation, and products liability, as well as in commercial actions, indemnification disputes, and claims arising from construction site accidents, premises, auto, and general liability.
A natural complement to his litigation practice, Mr. Hager also advises on transactional, due diligence and corporate matters, co-op and real property law, retail and commercial leasing, and serves as general counsel for a variety of consulting, information technology, e-commerce, sales and marketing, retail, and professional service provider clients, as well as fixed-base operators and flight schools at local and regional airports throughout the country. Mr. Hager is also called upon by insurance companies to provide coverage opinions and to draft insurance policy language in conformity with state regulatory requirements.
