This year’s Insurance Law Institute will focus on an insurer’s duty to defend. Questions that will be explored include:

• When does the insurer have a duty to defend?
• When can an insured recoup defense costs?
• When should an insurer not defend?
• What should a reservation of rights letter contain?
• What happens when an insurer fails to defend?

The panel of NJ insurance law attorneys will address these questions and more as they demystify the duty to defend.
