Advisen Webinar: First Quarter Securities Litigation Review, Sponsored by ACE
On Friday, April 16 at 11am EDT, join ACE's Scott Meyer, Willkie Farr's Michael Young, Willis's Ken Ross and the D&O Diary's Kevin LaCroix, for a webinar sponsored by ACE to discuss developments in securities litigation and the D&O market. The session will review Advisen's analysis of 2010 securities litigation and discuss the larger implications for underwriters, brokers and risk managers.
The meltdown of the subprime mortgage market and the subsequent global credit crisis were the principal drivers of securities litigation in 2007, 2008 and 2009. The number of new subprime and credit crisis cases has plummeted recent quarters, however, and nothing has yet arisen to spark a new round of securities-related lawsuits. D&O underwriters are breathing a sigh of relief, but they also are nervously scanning the horizon, watching for the events that will cause the next surge in claims.
The panel will be moderated by Advisen's Jim Blinn. As has become the standard for Advisen's securities litigation webinars, we expect a lively and informative discussion.
