Representations and Warranties Insurance: Trends, Developments, and Issues You Should Know
Overview:
The representations and warranties insurance (RWI) market continues to rapidly evolve as it responds to the ongoing pandemic. A number of RWI trends have started to emerge including the classification of the current crisis as a heightened due diligence area and the standardization of COVID-19 exclusions.

Speakers will discuss, among other things, the best practices that can help companies use their insurance policy effectively in today’s fast-paced environment.
