This webinar aims to answer these questions by discussing what insurance coverages are potentially implicated by the pandemic, the landscape of state and federal legislation seeking to mandate insurance coverage, and how liability policies (CGL, EPLI, D&O, etc.) are likely to respond to lawsuits and government investigations relating to COVID-19. So please join members of Barnes & Thornburg LLP’s Insurance Recovery Practice Group as they discuss emerging insurance issues relating to COVID-19 and answer some of the most pressing questions facing senior leadership at companies of all sizes.
