During this informative 60-minute CLE session, our speakers will discuss the laws that are either in effect or are in the process of being passed that govern social media and how it is used. They will also talk about the potential legal implications for using social media during claims investigations and the many insurance policies that may be involved. In addition, they will examine social media's role in legal proceedings and offer suggestions for discovery and trial tactics. Moderated by Orange County Partner Esther Holm, this session will be beneficial and informative for all insurance professionals since social media affects almost all insurance coverages, from cyber to D&O to EPL.
