Duane Morris Partner Robert M. Fineman to Be Panelist at Strafford Publications Teleconference on Contested Insurance Coverage
April 2, 2009 | Teleconference
Duane Morris partner Robert M. Fineman will be a panelist at a Strafford Publications teleconference on the topic of "Contested Insurance Coverage: Defense Under Reservation of Rights; Strategies to Reconcile Policyholders' and Insurers' Competing Interests," to be held on April 2, 2009, from 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. (ET).
About the Seminar
This seminar will examine the legal issues that arise for the insurer and the policyholder when the insurer's duty to defend is under dispute. The panel will discuss different state law and court approaches and ways that the insurer and the policyholder can work toward a resolution of the conflicts presented.
Listen as our panel of experienced insurance attorneys examines the competing interests of the insurer and the policyholder where the duty to defend is under dispute, how different state laws and courts treat the issue, and how both the insurer and the policyholder can work toward a resolution. Following the speaker presentations, there will be an interactive Q&A.
The panel will review these and other key questions:
- What are an insurer's key considerations in deciding whether to file a declaratory action to dispute coverage?
- What are the prevailing state law standards governing the insurer's duty to defend— and when an insurer can file a declaratory action?
- What are the best practices for both sides to reconcile their competing interests when they don't agree about extent of coverage?
- What ethical issues arise when an insurer representing a policyholder hires counsel in a liability matter?
