LIANS is seeking up to four lawyers to join its Claims Review Committee ("CRC"). The CRC, as LIANS’ large loss committee, has two primary functions (i) advise on claims that have a total incurred (indemnity plus defence costs, reserved and paid) greater than $125,000 and (ii) approve claim settlements that exceed $100,000.
In appointing members of the Committee, the LIANS’ Director and Board endeavour to bring together a group of lawyers who have knowledge and experience in various areas of law and who reflect the diversity of the legal profession in Nova Scotia. Given that most claims before the CRC are in litigation, practice experience as a civil litigator is an asset.
Interested Members practicing anywhere in the province are welcome to apply. Members are also welcomed, and encouraged, to forward this request to anyone they believe would be interested in joining the CRC. LIANS is committed to equity and diversity and we encourage Members from historically underrepresented groups to apply.
If you are interested in joining the CRC, please contact LIANS' Director of Insurance, Lawrence Rubin.
Application deadline is March 5, 2020.
