I am honored to be a speaker at the first annual CLM & Business Insurance Retail, Restaurant & Hospitality Conference being held in Grapevine, Texas on February 22-24, 2017.  I will be speaking with Donna Simms from Albertson’s LLC and Paul Dunagan from Sarles & Ouimet and our presentation is entitled: “In The Line Of Fire – Handling A Shooting Before & After It Takes Place.”

Here is a summary of our presentation:  The increase is mass shootings around the country creates an especially difficult issue for retail, restaurant, and hospitality businesses because what amounts to “reasonable foreseeability” of a shooting is unclear. This panel includes two defense attorneys who handle such cases, an in-house claim manager who handles similar claims, and a security expert who has spoken often on this topic and acted as an expert in litigation. Engage with a discussion on this topic from the perspective of how a company and its defense counsel can address a shooting situation both before and after it takes place.
