Event Summary: Our aim is to help professionals better understand contractual requirements, focusing on common challenges and unclear standards. Topics include the basics of Errors & Omissions (E&O) and Commercial General Liability (CGL) insurance and why contracts are essential in professional practice. We will also explore changes in the legal landscape, such as increasing limits, jurisdictional pressures, and the shortage of experts.
