Preserving Privileges: Ethical Issues Confronting Insurers Policyholders & Counsel

February 16, 2012

This ethics-related program will address the difficult privilege issues that arise in the context of the policyholder-insurance company relationship. The program will explore defense-related common interests between policyholders and insurers, coverage-related common interests between policyholders and their creditors (sometimes including the plaintiffs suing the policyholders), and steps that lawyers and business people on all sides should take to ensure that communications intended to be privileged remain so. This course will be of interest to in-house counsel, defense and plaintiff's counsel, insurance coverage counsel, and law firm attorneys involved in their firms' loss prevention and risk management programs. Discussion topics will include: How to distinguishing between "defense" communications & "coverage" communications, How sharing information with businesspeople (such as brokers or claims handlers) affects privileges, How the presence of multiple insureds with conflicting interests affects privileges, How insurance companies can evaluate coverage claims without waiving privileges and how to deal with reinsurers
