March 4, 2016

Elizabeth Sorenson Brotten, a shareholder at Lind, Jensen, Sullivan & Peterson, P.A. authored the North Dakota Chapter for the 2016 Edition of the Defense Research Institute’s Duty to Defend Compendium

The Duty to Defend Compendium analyzes whether an insurer has a duty to defend its insured and the extent of that duty.  The Compendium surveys the law and provides guidance for insurance professionals to navigate through these issues under the law of every jurisdiction in the United States, Canada, the Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico. 

 Brotten focuses her practice on defending clients in high-risk toxic tort, product liability, and general liability cases in Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin.  Within DRI, she serves in leadership positions on the national steering committees for Toxic Tort and Environmental Law, Women in the Law and Young Lawyers.
