This is one hour you won’t want to miss! Bring your in-house questions for the live Q&A session following the chat — and we invite legal operations professionals and our valued sponsors to join the conversation too.

The fourth installment of the 2025 Contracts Masterclass series will explore the critical and complex intersection of insurance coverage and contract law. This one-hour session will teach best practices for using contractual provisions, insurance, and indemnification to maximize assets and further a policyholder’s financial and business interests.
The presenters will then delve deep into key considerations for managing claims, collaborating with brokers, and effectively utilizing outside counsel for insurance matters.
Whether dealing with a denied claim, partnering with an insurer to resolve a matter in the policyholder’s best interests, or renewing coverage, participants will leave with a clearer understanding of how to leverage insurance coverage as a strategic asset in corporate governance.
Join us for an exploration of the most anticipated cases in the upcoming Supreme Court Term and their potential impact on in-house counsel. Our panel of legal experts will break down key cases involving corporate law, regulatory disputes, constitutional challenges, employment law, intellectual property, and other issues of interest. We’ll discuss how these rulings may shape legal strategies, compliance efforts, and risk management for businesses in 2025 and beyond. This session is essential for in-house counsel looking to stay ahead of emerging legal trends and prepare their organizations for the changing legal landscape.
