Surviving the subscription market: leaders, followers & agreement parties

During the lecture, Andrew & Richard reviewed the various versions of the Subscription Agreement in use in the market, the issues to watch out for when there are multiple slips and (re)insurers "lead their own slips", who is a leader, follower, or agreement party and what these terms really mean, the legal duties and rights of leaders and followers in the subscription market, tips and suggestions on how best to avoid running into difficulties, both as a leader and follower and where the current system works and where it could be improved.

By the end of this lecture members will have gained an insight into a practical legal and non legal perspective on:

  • the various versions of the Subscription Agreement in use; who is the leader, follower, or agreement party and what these terms really mean
  • the duties and rights of leaders in the subscription market
  • strategies to avoid running into difficulties and practical suggestions and guidance
