The risks for directors and officers of companies are growing increasingly complex with stakeholder activism on the rise and increasing awareness of their rights and expectations of the Board of Directors and Senior Management in protecting their rights.
The Directors and Officers (D&O) insurance sector has had a complicated few years. It had been relatively stable for the best part of two decades, but in 2019 – 2020, prices for many organisations started to rise and coverage started to fall. COVID-19 then muddied the waters further. There also continues to be increased regulatory focus on director-level responsibility within companies and various new legislations coming into force that targets directors. Amongst these developments is the increasing legislation and regulatory focus on environmental, social and governance (ESG) risks which is placing new obligations on senior leadership teams. Overlapping risks from other lines, such as cyber insurance also pose a challenge to the D&O segment.
Against this background, it has never been more important for professionals involved in D&O liability insurance to stay informed and up to date with the evolving market.
In this Masterclass on D&O Liability Insurance, our line-up of highly respected practitioners will offer practical insights on the latest trends and developments as well as challenges facing the industry.
