11:05 am – 12:05pm ET/ Hot Topics at the Board-Level: Perception and Reality
Corporate boards face more accountability than ever before, with emerging exposures like cyber, climate, and SPACs taking center stage. How are these newer risks affecting corporate governance efforts? Should boards expect litigation on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues to ramp up in 2022? This session will offer insight into recent mega-settlements, securities litigation trends, and how pandemic-related risks are unfolding.
12:05pm – 1:05pm ET/ Basic Blocking and Tackling for D&O Buyers
After an extended hard insurance market, prices for Directors and Officers liability coverage have shown signs of moderating. With new capital and competition coming in, rate-weary buyers may be tempted to shop around for new insurance partners. What are the coverage considerations and hidden costs of switching brokers or carriers? This session will discuss strategic options for D&O buyers and offer a playbook for success.
