Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP is pleased to announce that associate Jae Lynn “JL” Huckaba has been voted to serve as president-elect of the Miami-Dade Bar Young Lawyers Section (YLS), which consists of more than 1,300 members aged 36 or younger, for the 2026-2027 term beginning this month. Huckaba joined YLS in 2023 and was the recipient of the organization’s inaugural Rookie of the Year award in 2024. She currently sits on the YLS board of directors and serves as secretary and community service committee chair.
“JL’s selection as president-elect of the Young Lawyers Section of the Miami-Dade Bar is a reflection of what her colleagues already know—she brings exceptional judgment, tireless work ethic, and a genuine commitment to service to everything she does,” said Miami partner Andrea DeField. “Whether for clients, pro bono matters, or the broader legal community, she consistently goes above and beyond, and this role is a natural extension of that dedication.”
Huckaba is a member of the firm’s national Insurance Recovery team and focuses her practice on advising policyholders in cross-border insurance coverage disputes and representations and warranties matters. In addition to providing policyholders with advice in complex insurance disputes, she also counsels clients on insurance coverage for cybersecurity and ransomware attacks and duty to defend and bad faith claims.
