privacy breaches. New and emerging risks on our training radar include driverless cars, drones, big data, 3D printing and nanotechnology.

THE ART OF CONTRACT REVIEWS

HOT TOPICS



CYBER COVER OR CYBER CONFUSION?

CYBER COVER OR CYBER CONFUSION?This workshop is designed for insurance, risk and business professionals who want to increase their understanding of cyber risks and the response provided by current Australian cyber insurance policies.

Using real-life cyber scenarios we explore:

� emerging risks and trends (including the latest high-profile cases)

� the response of current cyber policies and their different ‘takes’ on cover

� the breadth and limitations of cyber insurance

� the protections these policies offer that traditional policies don’t.



HOT TOPICS



THE ART OF CONTRACT REVIEWSThis workshop is built upon an integrated case study, where participants review the insurance and risk transfer issues contained in a hypothetical contract being negotiated by their client.

This ‘review in the room’ allows participants to explore and examine the often complex legal and insurance obligations undertaken or assumed in contract and their coverage consequences.

Issues addressed include:

� the meaning of contractual indemnity clauses

� obligations to take out insurance for others

� cross-liability and waiber of subrogration clauses

� ‘hidden’ assumptions of risk and how to identify them.




HOT TOPICS



CONTRACTOR LIABILITY: WHO IS TO BLAME?

CONTRACTOR LIABILITY: WHO IS TO BLAME?This workshop explains the uncertainties and liability exposures facing principals and independent contractors, including the insurance, risk and contractual mechanisms available to mitigate those risks.

Through claims examples we explore and develop critical insights into:

� who is a contractor and who is an employee

� the different duties of care owed by principals, contractors and employers

� the critical exceptions to those rules, and when they are relevant

� what contractual and insurance terms can provide liability “protection” for principals and contractors.



HOT TOPICS



PROPORTIONATE LIABILITY: IS IT ALL IT’S MEANT TO BE?

PROPORTIONATE LIABILITY: IS IT ALL IT’S MEANT TO BE?As proportionate liability regimes throughout Australia differ, it can be difficult to appreciate their application and risk consequences in certain transactions. Worse still, many don’t appreciate that just one line in a contract can completely change the risks assumed by commercial parties and potentially jeopardise their insurance.

In this workshop we explore:

� what proportionate liability means

� how it operates (particularly as the laws vary across the states)

� whether its consequences can be avoided (contractually or otherwise)

� the implications of two recent High Court decisions.

POLICY TERMS & ENDORSEMENTS: ESSENTIAL SKILLS FOR NON-LAWYERS

POLICY TERMS & ENDORSEMENTS: ESSENTIAL SKILLS FOR NON-LAWYERS This workshop explains and applies key insurance policy interpretation principles. Participants are immersed in the practicalities of drafting and identifying effective (and ineffective) insurance endorsements by being required to:

� complete and submit a minimum two pre-workshop exercises (discussed and built upon during the workshop)

� draft (in the workshop) insurance terms, exclusions and a checklist of key drafting techniques

� identify terms that are ineffective and require amendment

� interpret wordings and schedules.

ARE ADDITIONAL PARTIES INSUREDS?

ARE ADDITIONAL PARTIES INSUREDS? Demands such as “Note my interests under your insurance policy” and “Add me as a joint insured” are common in commercial agreements, yet confusion remains about what they legally mean and if they can be achieved.

This workshop examines and explains the practicalities of aligning contractual obligations with policy coverage and the risk consequences of adding parties, including:

� the legal meaning of common contractual terms including ‘interested parties’, ‘additional’ and ‘joint insureds’

� the Insurance Contracts Act provisions that impact added parties

� how to effectively endorse additional parties onto an insurance policy

� the critical insurance terms to consider when adding parties to a policy.

UNDERSTANDING MANAGEMENT LIABILITY POLICIES

UNDERSTANDING MANAGEMENT LIABILITY POLICIES The management liability policy brings together under one roof some important insurance cover, including director’s and officer’s liability, employment practices liability, crime and fidelity loss, and cyber risk exposure.

These policies can be complex and no two policies are the same. In this workshop, we discuss and apply the features of these policies to specific scenarios, including:

� who and what is/is not covered

� differences from D&O cover

� extensions and additional benefits; standard inclusions and limits

� general principles and pressure points.

BROADFORM LIABILITY POLICIES - UNPLUGGED!

BROADFORM LIABILITY POLICIES - UNPLUGGED!Whether you are part of the ASX Top 100 or trading as a local café, the broadform liability policy is an important risk management tool for business and an essential product offered by insurers.

In the workshop we place the broadform liability policy on the table, break it into parts and put it back together again. By doing so, you will better understand how each part of the policy works and how the parts work together, including:

� who and what is covered

� coverage clauses

� standard exclusions and limits

� general conditions and pressure points.

INSIDE SECTION 54: WHAT EVERY INSURANCE PROFESSIONAL NEEDS TO KNOW

INSIDE SECTION 54: WHAT EVERY INSURANCE PROFESSIONAL NEEDS TO KNOWSection 54 of the Insurance Contracts Act remains today one of the most innovative statutory provisions in the insurance world. Yet its complexities are not well understood.

In this workshop, we go through the front door and behind the scenes to discuss how Section 54 impacts on both underwriting and claims by examining:

� why Section 54 was created, and how the insurance industry has responded and adapted

� how and why the section is built to last

� how it applies to real-life insurance disputes

� the practical consequences of two of our latest Court decisions.

LABOURING UNDER LABOUR HIRE?

LABOURING UNDER LABOUR HIRE?Australia’s modern workforce relies heavily on labour hire. While these flexible arrangements offer significant advantages, the shift away from “traditional” employment means the undertaking of often unrecognised (and unwanted) responsibilities.

In this workshop we use case examples to explore and develop critical insights into:

� the legalities and liabilities attaching to labour hire relationships

� why host employers bear significant risk

� the latest Court decisions and how they impact labour hire arrangements

� practical strategies labour hire companies and host employers can implement to mitigate risk.
