Duty to Defend CLE Program

Nevada’s Duty to Defend: Triggers, Pitfalls, and Independent Counsel Rights

Sponsors: Las Vegas Legal Video and Worldwide Litigation Services

  • Speaker: Jeff Bolender, Bolender Law Firm, PC
  • Course description: When a lawsuit is filed, one of the first questions clients ask is: Will my insurance cover this? In Nevada, the rules about when an insurance company must defend its policyholder are especially important—and sometimes surprising.
    This one-hour program will walk you through the essentials of Nevada’s “duty to defend,” why it matters in everyday practice, and what happens when an insurer refuses to step in. You’ll also learn how conflicts of interest can change who controls the defense and what that means for your client.
