Interested in learning more about insurance coverage for sports and entertainment risks, potential liabilities, and losses? Then you should check out the new book that my colleagues wrote. Here’s a bit about the book and the authors from the Lexis Insurance Law Center:
By Kirk A. Pasich, Cassandra Franklin, Sandra Smith Thayer, Shaun H. Crosner, and Julia K. Holt, Dickstein Shapiro LLP
New Appleman Sports and Entertainment Insurance Law & Practice is written by Kirk A. Pasich the leader of Dickstein Shapiro’s Insurance Coverage Practice and member of the firm’s Executive Committee. He has been named by The Los Angeles Business Journal as one of the Top 10 Litigators in Los Angeles; Cassandra Franklin, a partner in Dickstein Shapiro’s Insurance Coverage Practice, serves as Deputy Practice Leader and co-leader of the firm’s Entertainment and Sports Insurance Coverage Initiative; Sandra Smith Thayer a partner in Dickstein Shapiro’s Insurance Coverage Practice. She also is the national co-leader of the Firm’s Insurance Coverage Initiatives and chairs its Insurance Broker E&O and Political Risk Insurance Initiatives and is a member of the Entertainment and Sports Insurance Coverage Initiative; Shaun H. Crosner is an associate in Dickstein Shapiro’s Insurance Coverage Practice, and he is the co-leader of the firm’s Entertainment and Sports Insurance Coverage Initiative; and Julia K. Holt was formerly an associate in Dickstein Shapiro’s Insurance Coverage Practice. Ms. Holt represented insureds and reinsureds, including Fortune 500 companies and individual talent in the entertainment and sports industries, in complex insurance coverage and other disputes.
This new practice guide provides practitioners with guidance on the wide variety of claims and lawsuits that individuals and entities in the entertainment and sports industries are faced with. These groups suffer from a wide range of losses because of natural events and the actions of others, ranging from earthquakes, fires, floods, and hurricanes to civil unrest, riots strikes, and terrorist attacks. The economic consequences vary, but can reach millions, if not tens of millions of dollars, and can involve everything from paying lawyers and experts to defend against lawsuits, to paying to repair or rebuild property, to suffering losses from cancellations, delays, or closures and loss of business during periods of rebuilding or repairing property.
