ACC-WI 2020 Virtual Annual Conference Programming Now ON-DEMAND!

Did you miss the ACC-WI Annual Conference? Need to grab a few more CLE Credits? We’ve got you covered.  The ACC-WI 2020 Virtual Annual Conference is now ON-DEMAND!  Access to 18-hours of CLE programming specifically designed for In-House Counsel and approved for CLE in WI for one low price.   Includes all downloadable presentation materials.

 

Join us as we discuss the common issues in-house counsel face with insurance coverage which will include responding to a storm or natural disaster and improving cyber insurance coverage.

Steven Brower, a long-time ACC sponsor (who regrets he still can’t host lunch at Morton’s), has 35+ years of experience with insurance coverage.  This presentation is targeted at in-house counsel who either supervise litigation or who try to avoid litigation.  The insurance market is changing, and the approach of  many Court’s to insurance is changing.  Steve will be providing practical tips for how to buy insurance, how to use insurance to either avoid litigation or to fund litigation and, most importantly, how to avoid insurance becoming a source of embarrassment.

 

Mauro Rubino-Sammartano and Ruggero Rubino-Sammartano, LawFed BRSA

Calling a performance bond involves a delicate balance of factors. Such evaluation is not simplified by the COVID-19 pandemic. In this Quick Overview, please assess key issues regarding bonds in this context.

Resource Details
Region: Italy, United Kingdom
Audience: Small Law Departments, Large Law Departments

Please join members of Reed Smith’s Insurance Recovery Group Pittsburgh office for a webinar exploring how policyholders are navigating insurance renewals and claims in a business climate of epochal change, turbulence and uncertainty. The speakers will discuss:

  • D&O insurance trends
  • Insurance coverage for False Claims Act litigation
  • Business interruption coverage for COVID-19
  • COVID-19 coverage – beyond business interruption

To obtain leverage in the litigation and access the company's Directors and Officers' Insurance, plaintiffs' lawyers often name as defendants, individuals employed by the company.

This presentation will cover what the in house attorney needs to know concerning the possible insurance coverage available for officers and others named as defendants; the interplay between their rights and the company's obligations concerning indemnification and insurance; the effect of bankruptcy and/or the inability or refusal of the company to indemnify the individual defendants as well as the various ethical rules implicated under the Texas Rules of Professional Conduct.

Please join us for the 2020 Annual Virtual Conference.   This 3 -1/2 day event provides  20-hours of CLE programming is specifically designed for you as an in-house attorney, including 3-Hours of Ethics. Our registration format allows you to customize your program schedule to fit your practice needs by choosing from the many hours of programming offered.
