Mobilize, Preserve, and Strategize" for CLM
Magazine's October 2021 edition. The 24 hours following a
catastrophic event are crucial to an insured's response in
managing billion-dollar claims. Stratton and Karen follow up on
their previous CLM Magazine article on key
steps to take during these pivotal moments, with a focus on step
one. They stress the importance of quickly assembling a top-notch
legal team with crisis management experience as well as mobilizing
support such as reconstruction consultants and legal assistants who
can comb through and memorialize evidence, including social media.
Finally, the insured must bring counsel and experts together to
develop a strategy based on what is known and unknown.
