Congratulations to KBR partners Nicole Sheth and Michael Perlis on obtaining a Motion for Summary Adjudication on behalf of our client!
The case revolved around whether virtually any reservation of rights as to coverage created a conflict which entitled the insureds to select their own counsel at the expense of the insurers. The Court agreed that not every conflict of interest means the insured gets their own independent counsel, especially when our client had reserved rights.
Another milestone was reached as KBR partner Jonathan Rubin successfully concluded teaching another Health Law for Managers course at Cornell University’s Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy, sharing his expertise in health law, legal risk management, and litigation.
We were proud to support his endeavors in educating future healthcare leaders.
