Jones Jones LLC, a defense law firm with a successful 100-plus year history representing insurance carriers and self-insured employers announces the launch of two new practice areas in the aviation and retail sectors. Jones Jones Partner Simeon Stamm will lead the Aviation Practice, and Partner Yvie Cherenfant will lead the Retail Practice, each bringing several years of experience litigating workers’ compensation claims focusing on their respective areas.
“Jones Jones has litigated and defended workers’ compensation cases in the aviation and retail sectors for years. We recently saw a need for established practices in these spaces to best address the needs of our clients and to further refine our expertise and build on our track record in both sectors,” said Executive Partner Matthew Jones. “In launching these new practices, Jones Jones aims to continue innovating and providing excellence as part of our core tenets. Simeon and Yvie are experienced litigators and will lead the teams with vigor as they provide comprehensive strategies to support client goals. We look forward to watching their continued success.”
The aviation practice will manage and oversee claims handling and litigation, specializing in training teams in best practices related to workers’ compensation litigation in the aviation space. The practice will have a special focus on industry trends and emerging risks and will approach all claims through the workers’ compensation and general liability lenses.
The retail practice will also manage and oversee claims handling and litigation, specializing in workers’ compensation litigation for brick-and-mortar retail businesses. The practice will have a special focus on effective settlement of active cases and industry specific risks, approaching all claims through both a workers’ compensation and general liability lens.
The new practices span both New York and New Jersey. Managing Partner Sarah Thomas and Executive Partner and fourth-generation Jones family attorney Matthew Jones will support the practices in New York. Operations Partner and fourth-generation Jones family attorney Kristina Jones will support the practices in New Jersey.
“With years of experience in each sector under our belts, Jones Jones has a thorough understanding and knowledge of both the aviation and retail sectors. And, this awareness goes beyond legislative updates and active cases,” said Operations Partner Kristina Jones. “Simeon, Yvie, and the rest of the team regularly attend conferences and partake in industry training to stay current on industry news and trends. Understanding the workforce, risks, and even common injury types helps us connect with our clients and get inside the mindset of the claimants to better secure positive outcomes.”
