WSHB Partner Alicia Kennon to Speak at CLM Construction Conference
Builders risk insurance policies are viewed as essential protection for construction projects, but they are complex and misunderstood, which can be further complicated by today’s changing litigation landscape. When construction commences, as either ground-up new or renovation of an existing structure, most risk management and insurance professionals presume that the project requires a builder’s risk policy to protect their exposure. Is this assumption correct? This is just one of many questions explored by WSHB partner Alicia Kennon as she takes part in this year’s CLM Construction Conference where she will lead a panel titled “Builder's Risk: Navigating the Creative Coverage Argument.”
Joining Alicia on the panel will be fellow industry experts Bert Dizon (Gallagher Bassett), George Gagaris (Envista), and Andrew Norris (Chubb). This not-to-be-missed presentation will take place virtually on October 1, 2020 at 11 a.m. eastern standard time.
A partner in WSHB’s Northern California office, Alicia is an active member of both CLM and the DRI Construction Law Committee. She is an AV-Preeminent rated attorney by Martindale-Hubbell and has been named a Super Lawyers “Northern California Rising Star” for the years 2015 - 2020. Alicia focuses her construction practice on both construction defect and catastrophic injury defense.
The CLM Construction Conference covers all aspects of insurance, risk, and claims management aspects of the insurance related to the construction industry. In addition to addressing construction defects and other hot topics, conference sessions will also address facets of construction site accidents/injuries, coverage issues, subcontractor issues, risk management, and new technologies. Sessions will address issues on the national, regional, and state levels. In addition to the interactive educational sessions, conference attendees will have many opportunities to network with other thought-leaders in the industry. This year’s conference is scheduled for Tuesday, September 29, 2020 to Thursday, October 1, 2020.
