Using the recent Notre Dame fire and other construction disasters, the session examined the multiple disciplines engaged in response to catastrophic events including the initial public relations reaction; the interaction (privilege vs. disclosure) with government investigations; the assessment of culpability of design, construction, and maintenance; and the interplay of insurance coverage in the many claims that follow in varying civil and common law jurisdictions.
