12:00 – 1:00 p.m.   Presentation

Insurance insolvency law is designed with the primary goal of protecting policyholders – so what happens to everyone else? Lenders, vendors, reinsurers, investors, and other creditors often find themselves left holding the bag when insurers become insolvent. In this WinU, we’ll discuss what steps you can take, both on the front end and if an  insurer experiences financial trouble, to protect your clients who do business with insurance companies. Through a review of applicable law and some case studies, we’ll cover the following main points:

  • Background on state-based regulation of insurance companies.
  • Crucial contractual terms and general points to consider when doing business with insurance companies.
  • Insurer insolvency, including an overview of the receivership process and creditor rights.
