Recent Activities

Insurance Law Committee Meeting & Lunch on March 13, 2013: In re Zuber

In In re Zuber, decided October 16, 2012, the Louisiana Supreme Court laid down specific requirements for insurance defense counsel who represent insureds, even when there is no reservation of rights.  The Court admonished that lawyers must be scrupulous about apprising clients/insureds of the limitations on the representation, including the right of the insurance company to settle the case regardless of the desires of the insured.  Please join us for a discussion of what this means to insurance defense counsel and how to avoid the potential for ethical misconduct. Featued speakers included: Madeleine Fischer and David Strauss.
