Join us as we delve into a moderated session with Dr. John Lowry of Thrivence to discuss these questions and others:

Do firms and carriers understand the challenges they each face in their respective businesses? What are those challenges? Which ones are real and which ones are perceived? How can we create a more productive and lasting relationship?

What steps can counsel and carriers take to resolve relationship challenges successfully?  What role should the carrier client have in solving those challenges and providing advice to their panel firms? 

Can defense firms compete in attracting and developing talent in light of market forces?

What can firms do to meet the needs and expectations of their carrier clients and deliver client value in a targeted way?

How can carriers and outside counsel thrive (or survive) in the era of remote work when attorneys are expected to be “on call” 24/7, and insureds seem to require the same of their insurers and defense counsel?

Do you know how to handle AI in your company or in your practice?  You won't want to miss this roundtable session where we will discuss topics such as:

How might artificial intelligence be used in underwriting, claims adjustment, and claims litigation? 

What are the ethical considerations of using AI?

What will be the guiding principles in developing AI best practices?

We'll have some engaging table topics to keep our conversations going during lunch and also have time to meet and get to know each other.
