Co-Founding Partner Jason Feld Honored as CLM Professional of the Year Finalist
Kahana Feld’s co-founding partner Jason Feld has been named a finalist for the Claims and Litigation Management Alliance (CLM) Professional of the Year Award – Outside Defense Counsel, a distinction that recognizes leaders who have made a meaningful impact on the claims and litigation management community.
This recognition reflects Jason’s longstanding commitment to excellence in advocacy, industry leadership, and professional service. Over the years, he has played an active and influential role within CLM, frequently serving as a speaker at national conferences and educational programs and contributing to important conversations shaping the future of claims and litigation strategy. His ability to bridge practical litigation experience with forward-looking industry insight has made him a trusted voice among claims professionals, carriers, and defense counsel nationwide.
Jason’s leadership within CLM is both extensive and impactful. He currently serves as the Regional Chair for Arizona, California, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington, and he has also held multiple leadership roles with the Orange County Chapter, including Director of Events (2024–2025), President (2020–2024), and Director of Education (2018–2020). In addition, he was honored as CLM’s inaugural Volunteer of the Year in 2024, recognizing his dedication to serving the CLM community through leadership, education, and community service.
The recipient of the Professional of the Year Award will be announced during the opening session of the 2026 CLM Annual Conference on March 25. At this year’s conference, Jason will also serve as a featured panelist, speaking at a session examining the evolving role of virtual mediation and evaluating its advantages and limitations compared to traditional, in-person proceedings to maximize resolution outcomes.
We congratulate Jason on this well-deserved recognition and look forward to celebrating alongside the CLM community in March.
