The program will cover a broad spectrum of topics relevant to both litigation and transactional practices, and to outside and in-house counsel. Our all-star faculty have prepared sessions that will appeal to seasoned construction attorneys and those new to the practice, covering age-old trial techniques along with new techniques and approaches for mitigating risks and resolving construction disputes.
Fixing My Project – Tips & Pitfalls Regarding Insurance in the Construction Litigation Case
Friday, April 12, 2024 – 10:20 AM – 11:20 AM CST
The worst possible scenario is finding your client in a construction dispute that could have been covered but was not. Our Panel of insurance experts from varying perspectives – in-house, coverage counsel, and industry – will address the moves savvy counsel should make at the outset of the project and when a claim arises. From how in-house and transactional counsel should set up the project to how outside counsel – both litigation and coverage – can position a claim for resolution, this session will help you turn insurance into a tool to protect your project and learn the best practices so your client can clear the typical obstacles to resolution.
