WHAT YOU WILL LEARN AND WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND
This program is designed to give attorneys, insurance professionals and risk
managers the practical tools they need to handle a coverage matter from
beginning to end, pointing out each side of the coverage issues. Our outstanding
faculty will offer plenary sessions devoted to the most common forms of
liability insurance coverage and common coverage problems. They will cover
commercial general liability and automobile insurance and will discuss how to
find or defeat coverage for intentional torts, construction defects and
intellectual property. You will learn how to litigate insurance issues and the
ropes of Maryland’s new bad faith statute. All attendees will receive
comprehensive course materials on Maryland Insurance Law covering each session
