Steven Brower, a long-time ACC sponsor (who regrets he still can’t host lunch at Morton’s), has 35+ years of experience with insurance coverage. This presentation is targeted at in-house counsel who either supervise litigation or who try to avoid litigation. The insurance market is changing, and the approach of many Court’s to insurance is changing. Steve will be providing practical tips for how to buy insurance, how to use insurance to either avoid litigation or to fund litigation and, most importantly, how to avoid insurance becoming a source of embarrassment.

Insurance coverage for False Claims Act litigation
To obtain leverage in the litigation and access the company's Directors and Officers' Insurance, plaintiffs' lawyers often name as defendants, individuals employed by the company.
This presentation will cover what the in house attorney needs to know concerning the possible insurance coverage available for officers and others named as defendants; the interplay between their rights and the company's obligations concerning indemnification and insurance; the effect of bankruptcy and/or the inability or refusal of the company to indemnify the individual defendants as well as the various ethical rules implicated under the Texas Rules of Professional Conduct.
