U.S./Canadian litigation in a Post-COVID-19 world
In our first webinar of the ILG & LMA 2021 Young Professionals Boot Camp we explored how the pandemic has impacted insurance litigation across the U.S. and Canada. The session examined how the practice of law and the courts in both countries have adapted to the “new normal” 14 months later with an overview of the unique U.S. court system. A key focus was the status of coverage disputes and business interruption claims. What has changed and what has not? Learn how defense practitioners are adapting to plaintiffs’ new tactics in a post-COVID-19 world.
