American Conference Institute's National Forum on

Litigating Contract Surety Bond & Fidelity Insurance Claims

Wednesday, October 17 to Thursday, October 18, 2012
Union League, Philadelphia, PA

The premier Contract Surety Bond and Fidelity Insurance Claims event where outside counsel and leading in house counsel and claims professionals are meeting to devise practical solutions for today’s most critical issues.

The issues surrounding contract surety bonds are complex and ever evolving. The weak economy and heavy competition on bids for projects have principals under bidding and over extending their resources on projects that are beyond their scope and consideration. As a result, claims for performance and payment bond in the contract surety context are on the rise. Projects are incomplete and damage/defects on projects are common problems principals, owners, and sureties are facing in today’s industry. In addition, fidelity insurers are handling and processing claims more so now than ever before. Direct/indirect loss, forgery exclusions, dishonest employees are just a few of the many issue and complexities surrounding fidelity insurance claims today. To complicate matters further, investigating all claims requires volumes of data, records, and documents that not only increase litigation costs but causes delay.
