Inside the PLUS EPL Think Tank: Unveiling Insights and Innovations in Professional Liability Insurance Markets

The PLUS Think Tanks are a volunteer role that provides PLUS staff with valuable insights on a variety of professional liability insurance markets. Think Tanks meets 2-3 times per year to provide ideas for the PLUS Symposium as well as the other PLUS content channels including webinars, the PLUS Journal Blog, and podcasts. During the PLUS EPL Think Tank call in August, the group discussed several topics and areas of interest for professional liability practitioners including:

• Current Trends/What the Defense Side is Thinking About-Chevron Decision, Pregnancy Fairness Act
• AI Claims
• Interplay with EPL and Cyber
• DE&I-DE&I Trending with Defense, Uptick in Reverse Discrimination Claims, Employers Confirming Compliance
• Wage and Hour-Class Actions, Wage and Hour Standalone Product, PAGA in California
• Exploring the Hot Spots: California, Texas, Florida, and New Jersey
• Disability, Discrimination and Retaliation Claims-Return to Work, Claims Handling, Mental Health Claims on the Rise, Claims arising for revised NY whistleblower laws
