The day a large claim arrives and you discover you didn’t have the coverage or status you thought you had will not qualify as one of your better days. Don’t be surprised at one of those critical moments! Develop a process to ensure appropriate insurance requirements are included and you receive what parties agreed to. You also can’t do it all by yourself, which means training a team and managing COIs, not just filing them. Ensure that the words, “but I thought . . .” never apply to this topic.

Attendee Takeaways:

1. Develop contract language that leaves no doubt as to what is required and how it must be documented
2. Identify higher risk agreements and activities that require extra attention
3. Review options for actively managing COIs instead of just filing them
