Corporate Counsel Committee
Kim Quarles, Sr. Vice President, E&O and E-Risk Product Team, Willis, and Sean Murray, Chubb Insurance, will discuss various liability exposures corporate counsel face and provide a general understanding of the insurance solutions available in today’s market to help mitigate some of these risks.
It is now widely recognized that liability exposures for public and private companies and their boards and officers are continuing to increase. Unfortunately, this heightened liability exposure now also extends to corporate counsel, who advise management on critical legal issues and who to a large extent can influence, if not control, conduct of the company and its directors and officers. In the wake of the numerous highly-publicized corporate scandals, courts, legislators and regulators are imposing more rigorous standards on these in-house advisors, resulting in unprecedented liability exposure for a wide variety of potential claimants.

Too often, employers assume managers know the right thing to do; unfortunately, oftentimes they do not. The manager’s ignorance will be no excuse under the law for the employer. The solution: some simple and cost-effective steps that employers can take to avoid litigation which our speakers will share with us.
