Join Goldberg Segalla partners Colleen Murphy and Sarah Delaney and GS attorney Caroline Early for an engaging discussion of policy reformation, scrivener’s errors, mutual mistake, unilateral mistake, and the evidentiary challenges that frequently determine the outcome of high-stakes coverage litigation. Drawing on practical hypotheticals and real-world insurance placement scenarios, our presenters will explore when courts are willing to reform insurance policies, when they refuse to do so, and how underwriting, agency, and MGA records can become the most important evidence in a case. The program will also address the increasingly important intersection between reformation claims and agent, broker, MGA, and MGU errors and omissions exposure, including situations where coverage disputes give rise to downstream professional liability claims.
