Underwriting Assistance: The firm has been called upon on many
occasions to provide information and opinions which will assist insurance
underwriters in their understanding of a particular industry or coverage
opportunity.
These efforts have been directed to telecommunications, computer hardware and
software, winery operations, and entertainment industries including the motion
picture and video game industries, just to name a few. Constantly evolving areas
of law, such as the right to privacy and the right of publicity, internet and
e-commerce activities, copyright and trademark protections, governmental
regulations as to consumer protections have also been the subjects of our
assistance to underwriters in attempting to determine whether and at what price
insurance products should be offered.
Newton Remmel conducts seminars for underwriters and claims personnel related to
updates and changes in the laws which affect their operations.
