Margo Brownell Elected as Fellow of the American College of Coverage Counsel

Maslon is pleased to announce that Margo Brownell, Chair of Maslon's Insurance Coverage Group, has been elected as a Fellow of the American College of Coverage Counsel (ACCC). Established in 2012, the ACCC is the preeminent association of U.S. and Canadian lawyers who represent the interests of insurers and policyholders. The organization seeks to advance the creative, ethical, and efficient adjudication of insurance coverage and extracontractual disputes, enhance the civility and quality of the practice of insurance law, provide peer-reviewed scholarship, and improve the relationship between and among the members of the legal profession.

Margo has represented policyholders in litigation, arbitrations, and negotiations with their insurers for almost 20 years. She has helped clients recover hundreds of millions of dollars in high-stakes insurance coverage disputes throughout the country. In 2018, she was recognized as an "Attorney of the Year" by Minnesota Lawyer for her insurance coverage work in the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis Bankruptcy Case. Margo is also engaged with advancing both the profession and the community. Of particular note, she served as an Adjunct Professor of Law at the University of Minnesota Law School, where she taught insurance law and founded the Insurance Law Clinic, which provides student-led representation for individuals and small businesses with insurance claims and/or coverage disputes, often on a pro bono basis for low income individuals.
