Jennifer Keadle Mason was born in Staunton, Virginia. She received her Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science from the University of Richmond in 1990 and her Law Degree from West Virginia University in 1994. Her present concentration is in the areas of catastrophic loss and E-Discovery or the discovery of electronically stored information.

    She and this firm are current members of the Sedona Conference and Working Group 1 on E-Discovery. She is also a current member of the ABA and DRI Technology Committees. Mrs. Mason has provided educational programs and presentations on E-Discovery to numerous insurance carriers and clients. Services related to this area include consultations with clients and carriers regarding the retention of electronically stored information, litigation holds, and proportionality arguments related to the same.
