A lot has happened over the past year that impacts our practice of insurance law: North Carolina courts have continued to issue opinions and rulings pertaining to interesting — or at least relevant — aspects of insurance law. Business interruption and other COVID-related claims continue to be prominent in court and in the news. New technologies and digital communications continue to push the limits of the Rules of Professional Conduct. And North Carolina continues to progress toward statewide implementation of an electronic filing system.

During this CLE, we unpack pertinent litigation issues in the context of insurance law, including the economic loss doctrine, bad faith, and unfair and deceptive trade practices.

Hear an explanation of insurance coverage disputes that continue to emerge as a result of COVID-19, and round out the day with an engaging role-play segment that provides deeper insight into issues arising in insurance defense matters.
