pexels-photo-552774.jpeg

Carl Metzger joins Kevin LaCroix and Rob Yellen for their third and best-ever podcast episode on the New Administration and D&O Risks. This cant-miss panel shares fresh insights on how the Biden administration has and will impact the D&O industry.

“The Administration is going to be more active, cautioned Carl Metzger, [There is] going to be a ramp-up of intensity and scrutiny by this administration.

Areas of the panels focus included: (i) the impact of executive orders and how the latest seems a shot across the bow, (ii) gamification and other SEC rulemaking priorities some of which are beginning to look a lot like event-based SCAs, (iii) expect more enforcement; (iv) how will environmental challenges like inflation and scarce resources impact our D&O insurance industry; and (vi) how will the new capacity in D&O impact our markets? Has the pendulum begun to swing back?
