Many businesses buy general liability coverage with personal and advertising injury without understanding how exclusions can affect their exposure. As professional services evolve, so does their need for errors and omissions and media coverages. Some businesses will wait to be prompted to purchase insurance by contractual obligations, and even then the contracts may not be specific enough for the services provided. Join us as we break down coverages, coverage gaps and claims examples for personal injury, intellectual property and media liability.

We’ve all had to adjust how we live and work over the past two years, and many professionals have done the same. The services they provide have evolved and so have their exposures. We will explore the changes many of these professionals are experiencing and talk about the types of professionals poised for growth in 2022.
