Richard W. Boone, Jr. (Partner-New York, NY) and Siobhán A. Mueller (Of Counsel-New York, NY) will present on the panel "Defending Against an Insurance Bad Faith Claim as a Matter of Law" in a live webinar hosted by Celesq and Thomson Reuters West LegalEdcenter/Cerifi on October 29, 2024. The panel reviews effective strategies for obtaining summary judgment amid allegations of bad faith, exploring techniques to capitalize on evidentiary deficiencies during discovery to demonstrate to a court that judgment as a matter of law is warranted. Rich and Siobhán examine the testing and enforcement of contestability clauses, how insurers can leverage their clear right to challenge coverage in support of summary disposition of bad faith claims and how admissions and information submitted in support of a claim can bolster arguments supporting summary judgment.
