Join us and Harold Flanagan (Seminar Chair) for an engaging Insurance Law Seminar designed to provide practical insights into key areas of insurance coverage. We’ll begin with the foundations in Construction Coverage Basics, then move into the intricacies of Analyzing an Insurance Claim to identify strengths, weaknesses, and pitfalls. Participants will explore critical Policy Exclusions and how they affect coverage interpretation. A special session on Building an Insurance Plan for the Service Industry will offer strategic guidance tailored to business-specific needs. We'll conclude with Pollution Coverage Basics, shedding light on this evolving and often misunderstood area. Whether you're a seasoned professional or new to the field, this seminar offers valuable tools for navigating complex insurance issues.
