Legal Issues in Risk Management: A Policyholder's Guide is designed to help in-house counsel and risk managers understand important coverage issues being addressed in the courts and to handle problems that arise in connection with the pursuit of insurance claims.

Specifically, Legal Issues in Risk Management will help you:

  • Identify legal issues that may have a negative impact on insurance coverage and recoveries
  • Effectively address legal issues that may have a negative impact on insurance coverage and recoveries
  • Develop strategies for pursuing insurance recoveries

Legal Issues in Risk Management can be used as a:

  • Primer on major insurance coverages and important legal issues that relate to them
  • How-to guide for addressing major legal issues and pursuing coverage claims
  • Reference to case law and statutes on important coverage issues

In short, Legal Issues in Risk Management is the first and only guide to insurance risk management that is designed to assist in-house counsel and risk managers with the legal issues they face on a regular basis.

Legal Issues in Risk Management has been updated to include:

  • A discussion of developments in duty to defend case law, including a look at what constitutes a “suit” under liability policies sufficient to trigger the duty to defend and an insurance company's obligation to defend its policyholder even where coverage could only exist upon a change in the applicable law
  • An analysis of the potential effect of the "personal profit" exclusion on an insurance company's obligation under a D&O policy to defend a director or officer accused of wrongful gain
  • An examination of the "contractual liability" exclusion in D&O policies
  • An updated look at exhaustion issues and the potential for policyholders to settle away their excess insurance coverage
  • Analyses of "additional insured" and "required parties" issues in Chinese drywall litigation
  • A discussion of recent case law concerning the duties of insurance brokers to their policyholder clients
