Igor Konstankevich

Mr. Konstankevich started his legal career at a plaintiffs’ firm handling all aspects of personal injury, workers’ compensation, and medical provider litigation. Since then, Mr. Konstankevich decided to turn his attention to the defense side of litigation handling general, premises, automobile liability, as well as high exposure/catastrophic workers’ compensation cases on behalf of insured and self-insured clients. At McCormick & Priore, he focuses on assisting insurance companies, as well as their insureds in a range of cases, including motor vehicle accidents, construction defects, and product liability cases. However, he primarily focuses on UM/UIM first-party, as well as bad-faith litigation. Presently, Mr. Konstankevich is focusing on bad faith litigation related to the newly adopted statute in New Jersey entitled the Insurance Fair Conduct Act, N.J.S.A. 17:29BB-1, et seq., which created a new statutory cause of action related to the handling of an insured’s UM/UIM claim. Before his legal career, Mr. Konstankevich worked as a technology consultant, assisting institutional clients with security and web development. Accordingly, he has detailed knowledge of information system technologies, limitations, and other data that could be obtained at discovery and utilized at trial. He also specializes in electronically stored information (ESI) and other related discovery issues. He is a partner at the Firm’s Princeton, New Jersey office.

Beyond the courtroom, Igor brings the same curiosity and hands-on energy to his interests outside of work.  He is an avid tennis player and sports enthusiast, mainly supporting the New York sports teams (Giants, Yankees) and Chelsea Football Club, drawn to the strategy and precision the games reward, which carry over into his professional life.

Igor’s technical inclusion finds a creative outlet, too.  He assists in the production of McCormick & Priore, P.C. Inside the Lawyers’ Studio podcast, lending a hand with the production side and putting his video and audio editing skills to work.  He is also a drone pilot, often pairing flying with travel to capture aerial footage of the places he visits.  At home, Igor is married to his lovely wife and a father to a toddler, who keeps life joyfully busy outside of work and his hobbies.
