Richard Boone (Partner-New York, NY) and Siobhán A. Mueller (Of Counsel-New York, NY) will present on the panel “Summary Judgment in Tag-Along Bad Faith Cases: Defending a Bad Faith Claim as a Matter of Law” for a 90-minute Strafford CLE webinar with interactive Q&A on July 8, 2024. The panel reviews effective strategies for obtaining summary judgment for allegations of bad faith, exploring techniques for capitalizing on evidentiary deficiencies during discovery to demonstrate to a court that judgment as a matter of law is warranted. Rich and Siobhán will 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.
