Alex Jurisch defends insurers in high-value insurance coverage cases involving significant construction defect and business interruption claims. He has worked on both class actions and multidistrict litigation. Alex’s scientific background, including working as a research scientist at a small biotech company for more than five years, offers his clients a competitive advantage when complex medical, regulatory and legal matters intersect. He has a better understanding of technical issues presented by experts and asks smarter questions to evaluate arguments. 

Given his research and document review background, Alex is skilled at quickly finding the relevant information and identifying the important areas of focus. He’s also not afraid of doing the math and brings a more analytical mindset instilled through his technical experience. Alex is proactive in making sure all bases are covered, requesting all the information needed from the start, and ensuring all of his client’s questions are answered. 

With a career where everything is intangible, Alex likes working with his hands and building things when he’s outside the office. Woodworking is something he and his dad bonded over as he was growing up. Some of his larger projects have included a dining room table for his wife, when they were getting married, and a backyard swing set for his kids, since they couldn’t go to the park during the pandemic. He also enjoys giving handmade gifts. This hobby has taught him how to have a lot of patience, focus, and attention to detail, something he hopes to pass on to his daughter and son when they get older.
