The ABCs of D&O Coverage:
Appraisals, Bump-Ups, and Choice of Law
Wednesday, November 20th | 1:00 - 2:00 pm Central Time
Note: Pre-registration is now closed.
This webinar will focus on 3 D&O coverage issues: (1) appraisal actions (and the Solera case); (2) bump-up exclusions (and the Onyx decision); and (3) recent choice of law issues (including issues relating to Delaware courts).
During this webinar, you will learn about:
- Coverage for appraisal actions
- "Bump Up" exclusions and the arguments on how these exclusions apply by both carriers and policyholders
- Why choice of law matters and the rationale for Delaware courts to apply the law of the state where the policy was issued
