In this program, we examine coverage issues arising when a company is confronted by litigation involving its board and/or officer activity. These issues are explored through two case studies, including a Tesla, Inc. shareholder suit concerning the automaker’s acquisition of SolarCity in 2016, and shareholder allegations made against J.P. Morgan Chase & Company concerning Jeffrey Epstein’s contacts within the bank. In both instances, thorny issues for coverage lawyers and claims professionals can arise as to who a carrier must defend and when (and where) an insurer’s obligations begin and end.

Contractors and subcontractors are taking on more design responsibilities than ever before. Whether it is construction management, design-build, design-assist, or delegated design – all of these project delivery methods are becoming increasingly common.

This implicates different insurance coverages, which must be considered and addressed on all levels of a construction project. Presented by: Caryn A.
