  • Coverage issues: Methods for involving coverage counsel prior to retention of defense counsel and methods for communicating coverage limitations and the use of experts to address coverage limitations
  • Post-Litigation: A discussion on early meeting between the adjuster, defense counsel, coverage counsel, and insured to discuss case progression, coverage limitations, and to help the insured understand coverage limitations
  • Early meeting with plaintiff: Early interaction with plaintiffs and their counsel to determine the biggest issues and attempt to resolve those issues
  • Partnering with insured: A discussion regarding ways to work with and not against the insured throughout litigation
