Understanding Insurance: Risk Management in a High-Risk Environment

When risk is managed poorly, business suffers and people lose jobs. When it’s managed effectively, saving capital and earnings, people get promoted. Corporate counsel is in a unique position to quarterback the risk management process through careful selection and deployment of insurance. This presentation will help corporate counsel understand what kinds of insurance mitigate third party risks, learn how to communicate with brokers and carriers to maximize insurance assets, and explain risk and insurance to senior management and the Board.
