Mediation & Insurance: How Mediation is Used by Insurance Professionals and Counsel to Resolve Insurance-Related Disputes
The insurance industry plays a major role in the resolution of a vast number of civil and commercial disputes. Whether in the context of insured-insurer disputes or third-party claims, insurance companies and lawyers working with them are often involved in the resolution of disputes through mediation, and their perspectives contribute to the continuing development of the ADR field.

Each panelist will discuss specific aspects of their involvement in, and use of, the mediation process, including how, when and why they recur to mediation to resolve insurance-related disputes.
