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 liability for
violations of the federal securities laws.
Nearly a decade removed from the “Great Recession”, and with the stock
market having reached new heights in the first year of the Trump
administration, public corporations, and their directors, officers,
employees, investors and creditors, remain vulnerable as invariably the
next “crisis” is right around the corner. Sexual harassment in the
workplace at long last is not being tolerated by management but this
yields growing pains along with changes in corporate culture which
present liability for the entity and its directors and officers. Cyber
liability is now also impacting the corporate boardroom including
ever-evolving lawsuits brought by shareholders on both securities class
action and derivative claim bases. Directors’ and officers’ liability,
and corporate liability, insurance products continue to address these
exposures.
Join our panel of professionals, including insurers’ representatives and
insured’s’ advocates, and plaintiffs and defense counsel in these
matters, as they 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
- Corporate/D&O Liability and Sexual Harassment in the Workplace
- Corporate and D&O Liability for Cyber Risks Including Data Breach
