Insurance 101 for Lawyers

Insurance is a world unto itself, with specialized terminology, a high level of regulation, and its own accounting system as well as its own method of winding down troubled firms and it plays a significant role for businesses, not to mention litigation and other legal proceedings. Whether you are drafting a contract or an agreement containing insurance requirements or working with a client to minimize its business risk, insurance concepts, dynamics and jargon often come into play. 

Mintz Member and Co-Chair of the firm's Insurance Practice, Nancy Adams will speak at a course titled "Insurance 101 for Lawyers," co-sponsored by the Social Law Library and The Insurance Library.
