Christian & Small is pleased to announce that Managing Partner Deborah Alley Smith and Partners Rachel J. Moore and Sharon D. Stuart all participated in the Defense Research Institute’s (DRI) 2020 Women in the Law Seminar from Jan. 22-24 in Scottsdale, Ariz.
On Thursday, Jan. 23, Stuart, along with Maggie Weber of Nationwide Insurance, presented a breakout session on “A New Frontier: Insurance Claims of the Future.” From the agenda: “As technology changes our world on a daily basis, carriers must keep up with the new claims that arise – cyberattacks, bitcoin theft, and self-driving vehicle accidents, to name a few. This session addresses the newest claims being asserted and how carriers are responding.”
During the Friday, Jan. 24 session, Smith moderated a panel, “Ethics: Not So Fast! Know the Hidden Risks in Client Terms and Conditions,” that included Sarah Yehle Fulkerson of Saint Luke’s Health System in Kansas City, Mo., and Maggie Moore of Edward Jones in Saint Louis.
During the seminar Moore was appointed at the Women in the Law liaison to DRI’s Commercial Litigation Section. She has also served on the Women in the Law Seminar marketing committee and serves on the Business Litigation Super Forum marketing committee.
