When: April 16, 2019
Where: ISBA Mutual Offices
What: Civility: Difficult People & Conversations in the Workplace

Difficult people are everywhere, however when we have them in the workspace it can create major issues which influence personal health and wellness. The legal field alone can be a very stressful work setting; adding a hostile person in the work environment can make it feel impossible to cope. This program supported attorneys in understanding the psychological, physical, and emotional impact of dealing with difficult people at work while simultaneously providing helpful skill sets to manage individual experiences. This presentation provided concrete and practical actions which help lawyers be more empowered and in control.

Every lawyer who attended the entire course will receive 1.00 hour of approved MCLE Credit which includes 1.00 hour of Mental Health and Addiction credit (currently pending approval).

This is part of a series of Lunch and Learns hosted by ISBA Mutual.

Presentation: Cyber Insurance for Lawyers

Cybercrime is on the rise and unfortunately lawyers have found themselves to be a preferred target for criminals. In response, the insurance industry has created products designed to indemnify owners and minimize damage to a firm’s reputation caused by a negative cyber incident. Currently the market lacks uniformity in coverage between providers which can lead to confusion about the protection offered by a cyber policy. This seminar discussed many of the common features available in a cyber insurance policy including:

  • First and third-party coverages
  • Analysis of claims procedures
  • Steps to take in response to a breach

Presentation: The Secrets of a Lawyers’ Professional Liability Policy

Insurance policies are not meant to contain secrets. Many lawyers (probably most) never read their policy and do not know what features and benefits are provided. This course took a close look at the most misunderstood concepts people have about lawyers’ professional liability insurance. Little known features, benefits and best practices were also discussed to help participants get the most out of their policies. This information can help you protect the interests of both your firm and your clients.

This course focused on what insureds should know but commonly don’t understand about this type of insurance, including:

  • How does liability insurance differ from other kinds of insurance?
  • What benefits does a professional liability policy provide?
  • Who is covered? The Named Insured
  • Prior Acts Date and other important dates
  • Incidents, Claims and Risk Management
  • Conditions and Exclusions you should be aware of
  • Extended Reporting Periods

Speaker:

  • Brian Olson, Director of Member Services, ISBA Mutual Insurance Company
