Description

For New Practitioners and Practitioners New to Insurance and Commercial Law

As a new practitioner or practitioner new to commercial law, clients will often ask for guidance on their insurance documentation, specifically when entering into commercial contracts. Insurance is a fundamental commercial and economic tool in risk transfer. Being aware of, and appreciating, the scope of your clients’ insurance coverage, is an important aspect of a commercial practitioner’s arsenal of tools, especially when reviewing or drafting the liability provisions of commercial contracts.

This webinar will look at:

• the legislative insurance framework, including the Ministry’s review and reform of insurance law in New Zealand;
• the principles of insurance law;
• the commercial insurance aspects common in commercial transactions; and
• how insurance claims are considered by insurance providers.
