How to Prevail in Insurance Recovery
Here are the top 10 things to look for when implementing best practices for recovery under your company's insurance policies (e.g., Directors and Officers, Errors and Omissions, Employment Practices Liability, and General Liability) when a claim/lawsuit is brought against your company.
- What constitutes a "claim" under your company's policies (i.e., a lawsuit or a demand letter)
- What is the proper method of tendering/giving notice of a claim
- How can you maximize the likelihood of getting coverage
- What is your defense obligation (i.e., duty to defend or reimbursement)
- Is independent counsel covered under your policies
- What do you do in response to a "reservation of rights"
- How do you respond to a denial of coverage
- What are traps to avoid so you don't forfeit coverage
- As GC, do you need separate E&O coverage
- How can your company prevail in any coverage litigation
Presented by David Bender, Partner & Shareholder, Anderson Kill & Olick.

Implementing Your Strategic Plan - Internally and Externally
Through the development of a strategic plan, the Law Department has defined its value-add in a strategic, systematic way that the clients recognize. But a strategy that isn’t implemented is no strategy at all. During this webcast, we will discuss how to execute on your plan to elevate the performance, reputation and value of the Department.

Strategic Planning: Why a Plan Is Needed and How to Develop One
sponsored by huron consulting group
This InfoPAK will discuss why a strategic plan is needed and how to develop one. Historically, the Law Department has been viewed solely as a cost center. By developing and implementing a strategic plan, the Law Department can begin to minimize this perception and move towards the view of it as a value-add center. The development of a proactive strategic approach enables the Law Department to provide services that not only support but advance the overall corporate strategy and goals.
