Calfee Senior Counsel Tae Andrews Presented Insurance Coverage Webinar, "Beyond the Exclusions: When New Allegations Unlock Insurance Coverage"

Webinar

Event Sponsor: The Knowledge Group

On May 18, 2026, Calfee Senior Counsel Tae Andrews presented a webinar with The Knowledge Group, “Beyond the Exclusions: When New Allegations Unlock Insurance Coverage.”

The webinar focused on how evolving allegations in litigation can impact insurance coverage and trigger an insurer’s duty to defend, even where exclusions initially appear to bar coverage. Tae examined how amended pleadings, shifting legal theories, and nuanced policy language can create new opportunities for coverage and change the trajectory of a dispute.

Additional learning objectives:

• Understanding how amended complaints and new allegations can trigger an insurer’s duty to defend despite exclusions.
• Identifying policy language and exclusions that may be reinterpreted to reopen coverage.
• Reviewing recent case law demonstrating how revised pleadings and legal theories can expand coverage.
• Implementing practical strategies for analyzing complaints and responding to evolving allegations.
