Liability Insurance Expert Among Speakers at Pillars Conference

Jeff Masters, a litigation partner and co-chair of the Development and Risk Management Practice group at Cox, Castle & Nicholson, LLP, will share strategies for solving today’s liability insurance problems with multifamily builders and developers attending the 2004 Pillars of the Industry Conference in Palm Springs, CA, on March 28-30.

Masters will be bringing with him a list of insurers who are still willing to cover multifamily rental and condominium projects — even in California.

“This is the toughest insurance environment in years,” says Masters. “Insurers are returning to the fundamentals of underwriting, and are scrutinizing prospective insured’s much more critically than before.” Masters will discuss what insurance companies are looking for in potential clients, and what companies need to do to qualify.

Other topics that will be covered include condo marketing, the new demographics, transforming urban areas with multifamily housing and more.

The Pillars Conference will be held at La Quinta Resort and Club.
