DOING THE RIGHT THING

Acting with integrity in a straightforward, decent way is instinctive. Open and honest with others, we show respect and empathy however challenging the situation – demonstrated by our multi-award winning claims team. Doing the right thing makes for a fair-minded, rewarding environment and makes work and life better for all.

Examples or Scenarios

Film – Copyright claim

Our insured, a production company, was served with a lawsuit alleging they copyrighted the claimant’s trademarked slogan. The slogan has a mainstream recognition, and our insured used it in their fictional production. Given there was a potential for protracted litigation, we negotiated a fair settlement. This involved making changes to the script and advertising material. Our swift action ensured all deadlines were met and the premiere was able to proceed as planned.
