Richard W. Boone, Jr. (Partner-New York, NY) and Siobhán A. Mueller (Of Counsel-New York, NY) will present on the panel “Winning Bad Faith Claims on the Law: Summary Judgment Strategies for Insurers,” for a Celesq® AttorneysEd Center CLE webinar on August 18, 2026. The course will provide insurers’ counsel facing bad faith claims with critical insight into how to position a case for summary judgment. Bad faith cases present counsel for insurers with myriad challenges. The litigation is often protracted and convoluted and can result in awards that are less predictable and far more costly than those in their breach of contract counterparts. Practitioners representing insurers shoulder the responsibility for reducing their clients’ exposure to these risks and often employ summary judgment as the primary tool to accomplish this goal. Siobhán and Rich’s panel will discuss essential factors to consider during the claims investigation and discovery phases of litigation, as well as evidentiary proffers to support summary disposition of bad faith allegations, notwithstanding unresolved factual issues.
