Is It Time to Update Your Insurance
Coverages?
Business operations evolve, business
risks evolve, and so do insurance policies’ key provisions. While
your company’s liability insurance policies may look the same as
always, that may not leave your company, your executives and your
board properly protected. This session is designed to help you
identify those key insurance policy provisions where a slight
modification can make all the difference between having your insurer
acknowledge, or deny, coverage for your claim. Learn what provisions
are always key, what alternatives to the standard insurer contract
language might be available, and what Congress may have done to
limit the scope of coverage provisions once considered optimal. With
a special focus on the interplay between risk transfers in contracts
with business partners and direct or "additional insured" coverages.
