Areas addressed will include critical components of the 'duty to defend,' key principles of defense coverage provided under 'duty to defend,' defense cost advancement, and defense cost reimbursement types of policies, the methodology used in allocating defense costs between and among different insurers, different types of coverages, and insureds, and circumstances in which insurers may 'claw back' defense payments previously made to insureds.
