The Advice of Counsel Defense and Waiver of the Attorney Client Privilege in Coverage and Bad Faith Cases

The “advice of counsel” defense and the waiver of the attorney-client privilege impact virtually every area of insurance claims. This presentation will include a discussion about the legal and practical effects of using “advice of counsel” as an affirmative defense in bad faith litigation seeking extracontractual and punitive damages, including the scope of the implied waiver of the attorney-client privilege when the “advice of counsel” defense is asserted and ways to plan and prepare in advance of litigation for potentially eventually waiving the privilege where suit against the insurer is anticipated.

Lawler, Bryan M. Weiss, John H. Podesta and Michael J. Nunez.

Mediating a Case Driven by Coverage Issues and Avoiding Bad Faith

Settling and mediating cases with coverage issues can be a challenge. How the carrier decides to negotiate or settle cases can protect those coverage positions and the carrier’s exposure, or it can create potential bad faith liability. We will identify the challenges of settling and mediating such cases, and discuss how to preserve the integrity of the coverage position while minimizing the risk of extra contractual liability.

Who’s On First? How Deductibles and SIRs Affect Allocation and Priority of Coverage

Determining when an insurer must participate in the defense and indemnity depends on whether the insured has retained limits in its insurance program, and what type of retention. This presentation will address how trigger of coverage and allocation of defense and indemnity costs are affected by those retentions, when multiple retentions must be paid by the insured before the carrier must respond, and when the insured’s obligation to pay a retention is excused.
