Lights, Camera, COVID! Entertainment Industry Insurance Issues in a Pandemic Age

Blank Rome Partner Mary Craig Calkins will be a panelist for the Los Angeles County Bar Association (“LACBA”) “Lights, Camera, COVID! Entertainment Industry Insurance Issues in a Pandemic Age” webinar, taking place Wednesday, February 17, 2021, from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. PST (2:30 to 3:30 p.m. CST, 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. EST).

The COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting civil authority directives and health-related shutdowns have affected the entertainment industry for the past year, resulting in extra expense to deal with virus exposures, governmental and industry compliance costs, and other potential losses. Numerous insurance issues will come into play as the industry returns to full production, beyond the typical production issues for which companies usually seek insurance coverage.

Mary and her co-panelists will discuss a variety of insurance issues—from notice issues to mediation and potential litigation, flowing from the pandemic. They will also cover common insurance claims that every entertainment company must face, including production interruptions, cast losses, extra expense, civil authority, imminent peril, and ways to deal with a variety of insurance implications.

CLE credit is available.
