Insurance Coverage for Emerging Companies and Technologies: An Essential Asset

This program, presented by Paul Moura, Jacquelyn Burke, and Lindsy Solanki of Cooley LLP, will discuss new and growing risks faced by emerging companies as well as how insurance coverage can be a highly effective tool in mitigating that risk.  These organizations need to consider existential liabilities such as systemic cyber risk, media liability, intellectual property infringement, and product liability. Thoughtful insurance coverage provides a critical layer of protection and is considered a must-have for business partners and potential acquirers. This program will benefit lawyers who advise emerging companies and organizations that wish to acquire them.
