The 2024 Insurance Law Institute returns with an invaluable opportunity to deepen your expertise in the complex and evolving area of insurance law. This year’s program takes a deep dive into what happens when more than one insurance policy is triggered. Join an expert faculty for a comprehensive examination of critical topics, including trigger types, coordination between claims-made and occurrence-based contracts, cost-sharing agreements and recent legal decisions impacting reinsurance allocations.

By participating, you will gain a robust understanding of how to navigate multi-policy claims, develop strategies for equitable contribution and ensure optimal outcomes for clients in cases involving several layers of insurance coverage. This program is essential for any legal professional seeking to enhance their proficiency in insurance law and improve their ability to advise clients on these critical issues.
