Special insights on the US LEG3: Archer Western case
November 3, 2025 – 2:00 PM (CET – Copenhagen)
Jeremiah M. Welch and Will S. Bennett, Saxe Doernberger & Vita, P.C.
This session explores the recent Archer Western v. ACE American Insurance Co. decision and its implications for LEG3 coverage interpretation under U.S. law. Jeremiah Welch and Will Bennett will examine how the court’s reasoning, influenced by SCB, redefines “physical damage,” clarifies the ambiguity surrounding “improvement” in LEG3 provisions, and contrasts U.S. and U.K. treatment of manufacturing and contamination claims. The discussion will highlight key takeaways for insurers, brokers, and construction professionals navigating cross jurisdictional coverage disputes.
