HarrisMartin's Chinese Drywall Insurance Conference Set for Oct. 22-23 in Miami Beach, FL

Litigators and insurance professionals working through the morass of legal claims stemming from installation of Chinese drywall will gather Oct. 22 and 23 at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach Hotel for HarrisMartin Publishing's Chinese Drywall Insurance Conference.

HarrisMartin's conference will focus on critical issues related to insurance coverage and claims adjustment that have taken center stage as thousands of Chinese drywall claims make their way through state courts and the federal multi-district litigation (MDL) docket.

HarrisMartin's Chinese Drywall Insurance Conference co-chairs Barry I. Buchman of Gilbert LLP, Mary Beth Forshaw of Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP, Leon B. Kellner of Dickstein Shapiro LLP, and Steve Rawls of Butler Pappas have put together a two-day symposium that will aid counsel and insurance professionals in working through the complex questions presented by Chinese drywall cases.

Toward that end, attorneys and experts in construction and product liability litigation, as well as insurance law, have been tapped to lead a full slate of focused sessions, which include discussion of the policies implicated; policy exclusions and other potential hurdles to coverage; first- and third-party coverage claims and additional insureds; insurance-related impact on filing and defending drywall claims; insurance claims adjustment and more.

HarrisMartin's inaugural Chinese Drywall Conference last June was the first and largest of its kind, so don't miss this continuing education and networking opportunity next month in Miami Beach.

A discounted early registration rate for the conference is available until Sept. 25. Special rates are also available for large groups and insurance adjusters.
