Brace for Impact: Financial Lines Under the Current Administration

A second Trump administration could bring sweeping changes to regulation, enforcement and economic policy – with major implications for professional lines insurers and their insureds. This panel will explore the potential impact on claims under Directors & Officers (D&O), Employment Practices Liability (EPL), Financial Institutions and Cyber Insurance. Speakers will examine the evolving legal significance of recent and anticipated Executive Orders, projected enforcement trends, and how economic volatility – driven by tariffs, deregulation, and market uncertainty – could influence claims activity. Rather than offering concrete predictions, the session will spotlight the key questions companies, corporate boards, insurers, brokers and policyholders should be asking. What exposures may be heightened in a Trump 2.0 regulatory environment? What kinds of claims might become more prevalent or more costly? This discussion will equip attendees with the context and insight needed to remain alert, agile and prepared for what lies ahead.
