The DRI Professional Liability Conference is an annual event organized by DRI's Professional Liability Committee, dedicated to addressing the challenges faced by professionals in various industries. The 2019 conference focused on providing solutions for handling current claims and practical tips to avoid future ones, offering attendees two days of stress relief, claims mitigation, and networking opportunities.
Key topics covered during the conference included strategies for defending professionals at trial, avoiding ethical violations when advising the marijuana industry, and addressing new issues and trends in errors and omissions insurance coverage. Sessions also explored how to defend atypical malpractice cases and how to avoid frequent ethics traps for lawyers.
The conference featured notable speakers such as Zandra Foley, who presented on "Natural Disasters: When Real Estate and Insurance Agents Become the Insurance," discussing how plaintiffs and their lawyers attempt to create coverage in the wake of natural disasters by generating claims against insurance agents, brokers, or real estate professionals. The event also provided ample networking opportunities, allowing attendees to connect with clients and colleagues.
This conference is ideal for professionals seeking to stay abreast of developments in professional liability, including attorneys, insurance agents, real estate professionals, and others interested in claims mitigation and ethical practices. Attendees can gain valuable insights into defending against malpractice claims and avoiding common ethical pitfalls.
