Directors and officers (“D&Os”) of corporations face constantly increasing and evolving liability.  D&Os have exposures under state 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.

The risks for directors and officers are ever increasing in the changing landscape for both the for-profit and not-for-profit sectors. This involved changes with type of securities class actions filed against D&Os in the past year, but also the derivative actions, with more of them involving Delaware corporate law. There continues to be emerging trends impacting corporate decision making, none more potentially game changing than the increased implementation of artificial intelligence into the work environment. In response, D&O and corporate liability insurance products continue to evolve to address these new and renewed exposures. In addition, new guidance is needed for the D&Os in handling the evolution of claims.

Join our panel of professionals, including insurers’ representatives and insureds’ advocates, and plaintiff and defense counsel, 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.  In addition, the panels will provide up to date commentary on best practices.

Panel discussions expected to include:

• Key Areas of D&O Liability Exposure, Insurance Coverage, and Big Developments from 2023 into 2024
• Update on US Securities Litigations and Developments on Corporate Law in Delaware
• Artificial Intelligence Impact on D&O Risk.
