This event is scheduled for May 18, 2026, from 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM (ET).

Event Summary:

In today’s changing litigation landscape, even carefully written exclusions don’t always prevent coverage. Strategic pleading, new allegations, and changing court interpretations can suddenly create an insurer’s duty to defend, catching carriers and lawyers off guard.

Join Michelle L. Burton, Esq., Managing Partner, at Burton Kelley LLP and Tae Andrews, Senior Counsel, at Calfee, Halter & Griswold LLP in this CLE insurance webinar as they examine how amended complaints, reinterpreted facts, and detailed policy language can turn a denied claim into one that requires coverage.

What You Will Learn in this Webinar
 How new or amended allegations can trigger a duty to defend despite exclusions
 Identifying policy language that may reopen coverage
 Recent court decisions expanding coverage based on revised pleadings
 Strategies for analyzing and responding to changing complaints
 Best practices for insurers and policyholder lawyers when exclusions are challenged
