This course, taught by Andrew
This noteworthy coupling takes on heightened significance in the context of an owner’s or builder’s status as an additional insured under a Commercial General Liability (CGL) policy because of more restrictive anti-indemnity statutes passed by many state legislatures in recent years. These important changes require the steadfast attention of the policyholder, the claims professional, and the attorneys who advise them.

I wished that the presenter had touched upon case law from the Northeast/showed cases contrasting those highlighted in the second half of the presentation. But overall it was an informative and helpful CLE on insurance coverage.
Very good instructor
Good course, and the instructor clearly knows his stuff. Too much reading for my taste, but still good.
This was helpful. It's my area of law.

Andrew was good. Glad he went to Litchfield. (But I have nothing against Tressler...)
Since I practice primarily insurance, I take a lot of insurance CLE courses and they are typically the same thing over and over and are boring. Sometimes something new here or there. I was impressed at the spin this course had on additional insured coverage - this was something I had never heard before and was interesting. Thanks.
A very well presented and interesting discussion. A must for any business/real estate attorney
Great concise content
