Description
Directors and officers of corporations face constantly increasing and evolving liability. Directors and officers have exposures at common law for breach of fiduciary duty in the context of mismanagement claims, while D&Os of public companies may also face liablity for violations of the federal securities laws. Several years into the economic recovery from the “Great Recession”, and particularly the sub-prime mortgage crisis, the ultimate liability of corporations, particularly financial institutions, and their directors, officers, employees, investors and creditors, continue to be determined. And with the legislative, regulatory and judicial changes promised by the new Presidential administration for the first 100 days, there is a climate of uncertainty that will affect the financial markets and, therefore, corporations and their D&Os. Directors and officers liability, and corporate liability, insurance products will continue to address these exposures. Our panel of professionals, including insurers’ representatives and insureds’ advocates, and plaintiffs and defense counsel in these matters, will provide a balanced perspective on present and future exposures facing corporations and their D&Os, the D&O insurance marketplace, and the coverage afforded for these types of claims. Panel discussions include:
- Primer on D&O Liability Exposures and Insurance Coverages
- Update on U.S. Securities Litigation and Coverage Considerations
- First 100 Days Impact Upon Corporations, D&Os and Coverage Considerations
- SEC & DOJ and Interplay with Civil Actions, and Coverage Considerations
