Hinshaw & Culbertson LLP attorney,
David A. Grossbaum, will be a featured moderator at the 2012
LMRM Conference. The Conference will take place February 29 – March 2, 2012 in Chicago, Illinois, at The Westin Chicago River North. Mr. Grossbaum will be moderating the topic, "Insurance Law: Significant Decisions of the Past Year," from 4:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, February 29, 2012.
This past year's insurance coverage cases address a number of new issues and some familiar ones. Panelists will discuss: "prior knowledge" exclusions and limitations; defining the scope of covered "professional services" and the reach of the "business enterprise" exclusion when a claim arises from a business transaction involving both lawyers and their clients; coverage for lawyers who are defrauded in internet check-cashing schemes; the imputation of knowledge and statements by an insurance broker to the insurer; coverage for an attorney's obligation to refund a portion of a contingent fee to his prior law firm under the "professional services" requirement and the definition of "damages"; the controversy over the use of staff counsel; a rare interpretation of the "consent to settle" clause; and whether notice from the claimant (not the insured) satisfies the policy.
This panel is part of the Legal Malpractice series of topics of the LMRM Conference.
Other Legal Malpractice Topics include:
