Wendy Testa (Partner- Philadelphia, PA) will join a panel titled “Redrawing the Lines: Construction Professional Liability Coverage Isn't Just for Design Professionals Now” at the Claims and Litigation Management (CLM) Alliance 2022 Annual Conference on March 23–25, 2022, at the JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa in Palm Desert, California. Wendy and her fellow panelists  will lead a discussion that addresses why a contractor needs professional liability insurance despite expressed resistance to procure this coverage. Specifically, they will address various scenarios that prompt contractors to secure professional liability insurance: performing tasks outside the normal or traditional scope of work; bridging the gap when construction and design defects are alleged; deficiencies of a wrap insurance program, limiting coverage with respect to negligent performance of professional services; and unique project delivery methods. They also will explore the need for professional liability coverage in conjunction with commercial general liability coverage and, if these coverages are not coordinated with the scope of work under the contract and the actual work performed, what claims will rise to the surface.

Open to CLM Members and CLM Fellows. For more information, visit the event website.
