Beyond the Boardroom: Optimizing D&O Insurance Protection & Recovery
On April 3rd, Andrew Reidy, Joseph Saka and Hadhy Ayaz joined a panel to discuss “Beyond the Boardroom: Optimizing D&O Insurance Protection & Recovery” during the Association of Corporate Counsel (ACC) National Capital Region Corporate Governance Conference. This session simplified the complexities of Directors & Officers (D&O) liability insurance to deliver actionable insights for in-house counsel navigating today's challenging risk landscape. The panel explored key D&O policy coverages and exclusions, demonstrated how protection extends beyond individual directors and officers to benefit the entire organization. They provided underwriting insights to help corporate counsel secure the strongest possible protection in an evolving regulatory and legal environment.
Attendees walked away with concrete strategies for requesting policy enhancements that can significantly strengthen coverage for existing and emerging corporate risks. Finally, the panel addressed best practices once a claim arises: how timely notice and thoughtful reporting preserves coverage, the pressure points for resolving disputes without litigation and strategies for litigation (if necessary).
The Association of Corporate Counsel (ACC) is a global bar association that promotes the common professional and business interests of in-house counsel through information, education, networking opportunities and advocacy initiatives.
