More competition in the public D&O marketplace has resulted in reduced premiums for many companies, a welcome change from previous years. In addition, the trend of increasing self-insured retentions has slowed, and there are opportunities to lower retentions for the first time in several years.

Our 2023 Looking Ahead Guide and Webinar will help you anticipate and prepare for your next D&O insurance renewal. Get exclusive information from our experts to help optimize your D&O risk management strategy with insights ranging from insurance carrier expectations to hot topics in corporate governance—the fire sprinklers of D&O risk.
