Management liability
You don’t have to look far to see that executive and management liability exposures are increasing. Almost daily, headlines report cyberattacks and data breaches, lawsuits against corporate directors and officers, litigation over employee benefit plan issues, and criminal activity committed by company insiders.
Businesses are under greater scrutiny from regulators, legislators, customers, employees, investors and others. But it’s not just larger public companies that face such challenges – cyber privacy and security, crime, and employment practices litigation present real threats to privately held businesses and nonprofit organizations of all sizes.
