J.D. Anders, Counsel, Chaffetz Lindsey, Joshua Polster, Partner, Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP, and Elizabeth Zakheim, Associate, Mound Cotton Wollan Greengrass LLP provided the AIRROC community with an overview of recent case law related to reinsurance issues.

- the potential for direct action/cut-through claims against a reinsurer;
- the discoverabilty of reinsurance agreements in litigation;
- the use of collateral estoppel in reinsurance arbitrations;
- the intricacies of personal and subject matter jurisdiction in federal court and the federal amount-in-controversy requirement; and
- interpretation of notice provisions in reinsurance agreements.
