What the Construction Industry Needs to Know About Cyber Insurance
Construction contractors, subcontractors and suppliers can obtain insurance coverage for cyber-related losses such as a phishing attack or a third-party's breach. Sasha Selfridge notes what companies should be aware of when obtaining coverage and filing claims.
Legal challenges can arise in any construction project. One misstep can make the difference – for project owners, contractors and subcontractors – between profit and loss. On October 21, 2021, from 1:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. PDT, seasoned construction law litigators and industry leaders will share their insights on positioning yourself for future success.
Topics include obtaining and using insurance coverage; knowing what should be in or out of a contract before signing; complying with California’s complex and ever-changing “prevailing wage” law; and navigating the alphabet soup of governmental agencies (OSHA, EPA, IRS) and laws in the wake of recent court decisions.
Stay ahead of the curve and on the right side of the law by attending the online 2021 Procopio Construction Law Forum on October 21.

Procopio Achieves Top Mansfield Plus Status from Diversity Lab
Procopio has achieved a coveted Mansfield Certification Plus recognition from legal diversity incubator Diversity Lab for 2021, its top diversity ranking. This demonstrates yet again the AmLaw 200 law firm’s commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion. Fewer than 100 U.S. law firms achieved this recognition this year. This achievement coincides with a leadership change on Procopio’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee, with Partner Mindy Morton succeeding Partner Adriana Ochoa as Chair, and the creation of a new Vice-Chair position held by Associate Kevin Davis.
Procopio achieved Mansfield certification in 2020, recognizing that the firm considered at least 30% women, lawyers from underrepresented racial/ethnic groups, lawyers with disabilities, and LGBTQ+ lawyers for top leadership roles, senior-level lateral hiring, promotions into the equity partnership, and participation in client pitches. Mansfield Plus certification in 2021 confirms Procopio not only considered diverse candidates but also achieved at least 30% diversity in key leadership positions and billed attorney hours among those participating in client pitches.
