Reshaping Risk: EPL & D&O Liability Under the Current Administration

The return of the Trump administration in 2025 has sparked a sweeping regulatory shift impacting the management liability market. From the rollback of federal DEI initiatives and changes at the EEOC to the SEC’s revised enforcement agenda and updated DOJ guidelines, EPL and D&O underwriting assumptions are rapidly evolving. At the same time, states like California, New York, and Illinois are expanding enforcement efforts, creating a complex federal–state divide that is reshaping claims, coverage, and pricing dynamics. This session brings together leaders from underwriting, legal, and claims to provide a practical outlook on what these developments mean for management liability practitioners over the next 12–24 months. Attendees will gain:

Insight into EPL claim trends: How anti-DEI executive orders are influencing discrimination, retaliation, and whistleblower filings.
-Clarity on EEOC impact: What restructuring and shifting enforcement priorities mean for charge volume and litigation risk.
-Perspective on D&O and securities exposure: How SEC deregulation is affecting securities class actions and underwriting assumptions.
-Understanding of the federal–state divide: Why heightened enforcement in California, New York, and Illinois is driving EPL exposure.
-Guidance on underwriting and pricing: How carriers are adjusting appetite, retentions, and terms in response to regulatory shifts.
-Practical claims strategy considerations: Emerging defense, settlement, and coverage trends in a rapidly changing environment
