• The D&O Insurer and the Directors' Counsel

From the plaintiff's perspective, money is money, so how can they turn down the settlement the insurer is offering to pay? Because we say that there just won't be any settlement if plantiff counsel insists on going down the other route, seeking the money from the individual, which, while dramatic from thé plaintiff's point of view* may well be complicated and uncertain to yield results. The company and the board want to protect the directors, officers and the company from liability from securities claims and other liabilities that are covered under these policies. Because of this fact, it is important to make sure that you're purchasing the best ABC Side coverage that you can get.

Without finding a constitutional guarantee, the Court of Appeals said the state's Public Defender Act entitles defendants to have a lawyer present at the initial bail hearing. "What the Court of Appeals has done is end the system of incarceration without representation," said Michael Schatzow, the Venable LLP attorney who argued the case on behalf of defendants seeking counsel. A majority of the Court of Appeals also rejected the Office of the Public Defender's request for a delay so it could secure additional funding and personnel to provide representation to indigent defendants at 170,000 initial bail hearings annually. "The public defender's asserted defense of bud...
