Richard Mason, a member in the firm's Global Insurance Department, and Alexandra Schultz, an associate in the Global Insurance Department, will present a webinar titled, "Coverage under E&O and D&O Policies for Claims Against Insureds by Governmental Entities."Actions brought against insureds by governmental entities often present complex and challenging coverage questions.
