Advisen hosted a webinar and wrote a white paper that reviews its analysis of Q1 2011 securities litigation and discuss the larger implications for underwriters, brokers and risk managers.

On April 21, ACE’s Carol Zacharias, OakBridge’s Kevin LaCroix, Woodruff, Sawyer & Company’s Carolyn Polikoff, Bailey Cavalieri’s Dan Bailey, and Advisen’s Dave Bradford and Jim Blinn discussed issues surrounding the Q1 new filings, as well as insightful analysis of the Dodd-Frank Act and its likely impact on D&O litigation.
