Legal Roundtable: Insurance Litigation Trends

Held On: Thursday, March 23, 2023
2:00–3:30 p.m. (ET)
Virtual Program

DETAILS

According to Lex Machina (a LexisNexis company) insurance litigation cases have increased nationwide by nearly 50 percent since 2017 in federal and appellate courts, and it seems very safe to say that litigation is by no means slowing down in New York. Insurance companies now need to navigate these new and increased challenges in a state that is already known for its difficult legal climate. Join NYIA on Thursday, March 23 from 2:00–3:30 p.m. (ET) for a virtual legal roundtable discussion on litigation developments impacting the insurance industry.

Moderator Marc Craw, attorney, general counsel office at MLMIC Insurance Company will be joined by a panel of defense and coverage attorneys who are seeing and experiencing insurance litigation trends firsthand. Featured speakers include Joshua Hoffman of Hoffman Roth & Matlin, LLP; Dan Kohane and Ryan Maxwell of Hurwitz Fine PC; Roy Mura of Mura Law Group, PLLC; Joseph Wilson of Barclay Damon LLP and Audra Zane of Farber, Brocks and Zane L.L.P.

Registration is complimentary for NYIA members. Please be sure to share this invitation with those on your staff who would have an interest in the topics being discussed. The roundtable will be a great opportunity for participants to ask questions and share perspective with insurance industry peers. Register today!

Held On: Wednesday | October 13
11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. (ET)
Virtual Program

DETAILS

New York is a unique marketplace. The distinct traits of the state’s market make it that much more important we work together as an industry and foster strong relationships as colleagues. Property and casualty insurance companies share many common challenges, but there are particular similarities for regional companies that focus on New York or a select number of states. Learning from each other as industry partners is one of our greatest tools. This virtual roundtable discussion will be an excellent opportunity to talk about the vast array of issues companies are facing. We have topics we are ready to address, but first on the agenda are always the items you would like to bring to the conversation. Please send the top three issues on your mind to Kaitlyn Emory at kemory@nyia.org so we can include them on the agenda.

Submitted topics from members that will be on the agenda include the impact of technology on distribution models, legislative effort to ban the use of lead paint exclusions and legislation prohibiting the use of dog breed that advanced in both houses.
