Caitlin McPhillips to Speak at CLM Construction Conference

Caitlin McPhillips will be a featured speaker at the 2025 CLM Construction Conference (September 17-19, 2025) , contributing to the session titled "Winning The Case: How Preparedness and Investigation Transform Construction Claim Defense" on Thursday, September 18, 2025. Known for her sharp insight and rising influence in the construction claims space, McPhillips is expected to deliver on how early investigation and strategic preparedness can significantly impact the outcome of construction claims.

Whether it’s standing out at her job or being recognized as a leader within CLM, Caitlin McPhillips knows how to make an impression. After beginning her career at a law firm, she transitioned to the claims side of the business, quickly making her mark. When her manager moved to the newly formed Berkley Construction Solutions (BCS), Caitlin was selected to become BCS’ first adjuster—a role she embraced with enthusiasm. “I was definitely looking forward to it. I was excited,” she recalls.  She has covered substantial ground early in her career and is widely regarded as a thought leader in the construction claims space.

Within CLM, McPhillips serves as a Young Professional liaison to the Construction Community leadership board. She also played a key role in reviving CLM’s New York City Chapter where she will serve as vice president in 2025.

Her upcoming session at the CLM Construction Conference will offer attendees practical strategies and real-world insights into building stronger defenses through collaboration, documentation and investigative rigor. It’s a must-attend for claims professionals, attorneys and construction leaders looking to elevate their approach to litigation and risk management.
