... will have recourse if bad advice is given to them by their consultants' attorneys. One solution is for the company to establish a contractual relationship directly with the consultant's law firm. In addition, all agreements between a company and its consultants should be reviewed by the company and its counsel to determine if the agreement with the consultant allows the consultant to hire counsel. Second, the company may be well served by including in their agreement with their consultants a provision that establishes a link between the legal services rendered to the consultant and the company. Third, the company could provide in its contract with the consultant that a copy of all correspondence between the consultant and the lawyer hired by the consultant must be sent to the company. Finally, the company could require that any legal opinion letters from ... a known party on the statement in furtherance of that purpose; and (3 ) some conduct by the lawyer linking him to the relying party and evincing his understanding of that reliance. Even though these criteria may be satisfied, a company will still only have the ability to establish liability against its consultant's lawyer in a handful of jurisdictions. Therefore, companies that deal with consultants and their consultants' counsel should not rely on the possibility of the courts to relax the privity requirement. Instead, companies should take certain steps to ensure they will have recourse if bad advice is given to them by their consultants' attorneys. One solution is for the company to establish a contractual relationship directly with the consultant's law firm. In addition, all agreements between a company and its consultants should be reviewed by ...

... can mean the difference between a positive outcome and the uncontrollable opposite. After advising scores of companies on crises during the past 15 years, I'd like to share a few of the lessons that I've learned: It's essential to have an up-to-date crisis management plan. It's not a question of if, but when, your company will experience a crisis. I've worked with companies that have plans, as well as those who don't. When a crisis occurs, the difference between the two becomes readily apparent. A written protocol affords a company the luxury of being proactive during a crisis rather than reactive — a disparity that can have a major impact on a firm's reputation and bottom line. In the event of an employee injury or fatality, notify their family as soon as possible. I've worked with ... your audiences to assure them that you're in control of the situation. If you don't act quickly, your bottom line could suffer. Your employees are one of your most important audiences. Employees can be a tremendous asset, or liability, during a crisis. Consistent communication is essential because your employees are a direct link to your other audiences. Be sure to keep them informed on the situation and counseled on what they can, and cannot, say. If you don't, they'll come up with something on their own that might not be in your best interest. The rumor mill will be in full production during a crisis, so there's no need to make matters worse.

... flags' and opportunities to diagnose the health of their own insurance and risk management programs. New challenges bring new opportunities and, in this light, the policyholder can transform the coverage issue into a plan to patch up a possible hole' in coverage or consciously decide to retain or self-fund. In the Chinese language, the character for the word danger' connotes a double meaning of opportunity' as well. In a similar vein, reservation-of-rights letters carry overtones of danger, the danger of an uncovered loss. Viewed in a more positive light, however, such letters may flag an opportunity for companies to strengthen their own insurance and risk management programs, learning from the past to avoid future perils. This article originally appeared in the Risk Management Letter, published by risk management consulting firm Warren, ... hire a lawyer of your choice-not the insurer's-at the insurer's expense. When an insurer hires the lawyer and reserves rights, it creates a potential conflict of interest: the lawyer hired by the insurer may uncover some facts that if disclosed to the insurer might cloud coverage. To avoid putting lawyers in this position and to minimize the odds of mischief to policyholders, many courts allow insureds to retain their own counsel when an insurer reserves its rights. In California, for example, this has created a whole cottage industry of Cumis counsel, taken from the name of the court case. A reservation of rights might be a blessing in disguise, to the extent it opens the door for you to hire a lawyer who works for you and is not beholden to any insurer, but whose fee is still ...
