No employer is immune from employment-related lawsuits, particularly at a time when the Department of Labor, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the National Labor Relations Board are inclined to take an employee’s side in disputes. Employment practices liability insurance (EPLI) provides important protection against this ongoing but ever-evolving risk.

Prudent companies seeking to minimize exposure for employment-related lawsuits should appreciate the nature of employment practices liability insurance and how it applies to emerging trends in employment litigation.
