Rough Road Ahead in Excess Casualty

The excess casualty market faces a rough road ahead. After a difficult 2020, the market is likely to remain hard at least through 2021 and possibly into the following year.

Developers Face All Professional Liability Risks on a Project

From design to construction and sales, a real estate developer bears the ultimate responsibility for every aspect of a project. The architects, engineers, contractors, property managers and real estate brokers all face specific professional liability risks stemming from their own work, but the developer may be exposed to all of them.
