In the past couple of years, we have seen an increasing number of directors, officers and executives being investigated by the SEC and DOJ. In addition, D&O securities suits were up 50% in 2007 versus 2006 with no signs of slowing down in the future. Please join industry experts as they share their perspectives on the current — and next — wave of prosecutions by plaintiffs attorneys and the government, the impact this wave will have on the D&O liability market, and how you can ensure you and your Board are prepared for the “next big risk”.
