Breakfast and Keynote - Bryan Falchuk, How to Control Your Career Path to Get Your Must-Have Job
Selecting and Working with Expert Witnesses
Expert witnesses are quite often necessary to properly and effectively evaluate and defend professional liability claims.
Directors and Officers Liability Coverages
This class will provide an overview of Directors and Officers Liability Coverages and examine the historical development and evolution of these coverages. We will review how they work in "real life" and the specific categories of claims they're meant to protect against. There will also be an in-depth analysis of key policy terms and conditions and a discussion of new exposures and policy coverages.
Exploring the World of EandO and Cyber
The universe of insurance products (and customers) that typically fall under the “professional liability” umbrella is wide and diverse. Even within the segment of that universe we typically think of in the context of “professional liability,” the issues a claim handler may face can vary widely, while at the same time, there can be running themes. Management Liability (D & O, EPLI and Fiduciary Liability) products and issues occupy a world of their own, as does what is increasingly being called “Cyber Security.” This class will provide a closer look at the main professions and issues associated with the E&O “Errors and Omissions” portion of the PL universe (not including medical malpractice), and then focus on the burgeoning world of Cyber. [A separate Level 2 course addresses Management Liability.]
After completion, participants will be able to:
• Identify the main professions falling within the scope of “E & O”
• Address the recurring critical issues of privity, applicable standard of care, damages, causation (including the concept of “claim within a claim”) and the need for experts
• Discuss the main exposures/issues associated with claims against attorneys, accountants, insurance agents and architects/engineers
• Identify key Cyber exposures and understand key regulatory requirements in the event of a data breach
- Describe the various coverage features that are available for Cyber “Security” protection
Employment Practices and Fiduciary Liability
The universe of insurance products (and customers) that typically fall under the “professional liability” umbrella is wide and diverse. Even within that universe we typically think of in the context of “professional liability,” the issues a claim handler faces are vast and varied. Management Liability (D & O, EPLI and Fiduciary Liability) products and issues occupy a world of their own. This class will provide a closer look at Employment Practices Liability Insurance (“EPLI”) and a brief overview of Fiduciary Liability.
