Region: United States

Whether you are insuring commercial real estate or your own personal home, the cost to insure continues to remain a dynamic market.  Real estate and other investors have started to take a much harder look at insurance costs when underwriting the potential acquisition of an asset (especially in areas prone to catastrophic weather events like California and Florida).  Experts from Marsh (the world's leading insurance broker and risk advisor) will review the current state of the insurance market (and reinsurance market), the coverage challenges that many real estate owners face today, as well as the level of premium increases that companies may expect in 2025.  Our panel includes a senior leader on property claims who will discuss the current trends in claims against real estate owners and operators and how such claims are also impacting the overall insurance market.    

 

Panelists:

 

Bito Borovinsky, Managing Director and Head of Los Angeles Office at Marsh

Peter O’Hare, JD, Senior Vice President and West/Central Commercial US Property Claims Leader at Marsh

Jason Maxwell, Adj. Law Professor, Former General Counsel for The Irvine Company and Hines.

During this Legal Update, we will explore the role of mindfulness in both our professional and personal lives. Our discussion will cover topics related to health and wellness, performance, civility, and ethical decision-making. We will also examine the factors that can hinder these goals and how the practice of mindfulness can serve as a stabilizing force to help achieve them. Our conversation will also explore how mindfulness can help us become more attuned to identifying assumptions and biases — both in terms of professionalism and in the context of problem-solving within the practice of law. Because practicing mindfulness is central to our topic, we will learn a popular mindfulness practice that can be helpful in relieving stress and allowing us to see things more clearly.
