Duane Morris Partner Robert Fineman to Speak on "Insurance, Indemnity and Contribution: Coverage Implications- Reconciling Competing Indemnity Obligations and Insurance Provisions"
December 13, 2012 | Webinar
Duane Morris partner Robert Fineman will speak on "Insurance, Indemnity and Contribution: Coverage Implications- Reconciling Competing Indemnity Obligations and Insurance Provisions" at a live webinar on Thursday, December 13, 2012 from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.
Indemnification agreements are widely used to shift risk in a variety of commercial transactions. Insurance coverage counsel must understand the impact of indemnity agreements on insurance—who is ultimately responsible for the claim, and when and how is this responsibility shared? Coverage disputes often arise in reconciling indemnity agreements and insurance policies. Other insurance clauses and exclusions for liabilities assumed by contract provide ample grounds for disputes and litigation. The indemnitor must negotiate contractual provisions that limit the scope of the indemnification. The party seeking indemnification must negotiate provisions that address the indemnitee’s negligence, additional insured status and scope of defense.
This CLE webinar held by Strafford will provide insurance counsel with a roadmap for understanding the statutory and common law on contribution and indemnification. Mr. Fineman is speaking on a panel that will analyze disputes that arise when reconciling indemnity agreements and insurance provisions, and outline best practices for drafting indemnification language.
