About This Course

Throughout the country, liability insurers defend their policyholders against liability disputes. To do so, they hire pre-approved panel of defense counsel with two goals: 1) To protect the insurer’s interests as potential indemnitor, and 2) To represent the policyholder as a party to a liability dispute

The Rules of Professional Conduct, Rule 1.7 impose six prongs of ethical prohibitions and permissions on counsel, each of which is investigated and analyzed to ensure compliance. This informative course, the first hour of which is devoted to ethics, will analyze Rule 1.7 and related rules, and explain the wide variety of judicial tests developed among the jurisdictions.

The course will examine the power held by policyholders, and the defenses held by reserving insurers and their panel counsel. The presenter has a background in the insurance industry and currently represents policyholders exclusively. The course will include practical tips and strategies for policyholders and their independent counsel.
