Earlier this week, Angelia Wesch presented a CLE webinar for the King County Bar Association’s Litigation Section, where she discussed insurance tenders of defense and indemnity – important information for any litigator. She delved into how tendering claims and lawsuits triggers important common law and statutory duties of insurers under Washington Law, including the Duty to Defend and the Duty to Indemnify, and how failing to timely respond can lead to extra contractual causes of action against insurers.

Managing Director Andy Lundberg writes for Carrier Management about how legal finance adds value to judgment preservation insurance. Lundberg states: "JPI is a significant new feature of the legal environment, giving litigants the ability to leverage their courtroom successes—whether gained at their own expense or with the aid of third-party capital—to achieve certainty, liquidity and security that can enable their businesses to grow. Legal financiers are uniquely positioned to make those benefits available, affordable and reliable, adding new value to the litigation landscape." #legalfinance #litigationfunding #BurfordCapital
