This CLE course will discuss key issues that are likely to arise in claims made under representations and warranties (R&W) insurance policies and provide practical suggestions for both insurers and policyholders to resolve them efficiently and according to policy terms.

Description

Representations and Warranties Insurance (RWI) has quickly transformed from a niche product into a market that covers hundreds of billions of dollars in risk. It is now a standard tool in M&A, bankruptcy, and Section 363 sales.

Not surprisingly, the increase in the number of policies has led to a corresponding increase in claims. Both insurer and policyholder counsel must become familiar with the often complex RWI claims process, which differs from the general liability policy claims process (sometimes in refreshing ways).

Counsel must be prepared to counter and rebuff insurer attempts to avoid or minimize payment. Policyholders may need coverage counsel to demonstrate coverage and negotiate payment of claims.

Listen as this experienced panel of coverage counsel reviews what counsel must know about how R&W claims are made, challenged, negotiated, and litigated.
