Description

Join ACEC Georgia and AIA Atlanta for a Webinar on Management and Employment Practices Risk for Design Firms. 

This session examines the management and employment practices liability exposures that many A&E firms are underinsured for regardless of size, including discrimination, wrongful termination, retaliation, and the personal liability directors and officers carry in their roles. Co-presented with an employment practices attorney, the session brings both the legal and insurance perspectives to the same stage and gives attendees a practical framework for assessing and addressing their exposure.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand the most common employment practices claims and what triggers them in a design firm context
•  Identify when directors and officers are personally exposed and what D&O coverage does and does not protect
• Distinguish what EPL and D&O insurance covers versus where gaps are likely to exist
• Evaluate your firm's current employment practices and governance controls against underwriting standards
•  Apply three concrete actions to improve your firm's risk posture immediately

Speakers: 

• Dr. Mason Dwinnell, PT, DPT, OCS, QCLS, Commercial Risk Advisor, Professional Liability, Townley Kenton, Inc. 
• Ajay Patel, a Senior Claims Counsel, Travelers
