Management and Employment Practices Risk for Design Firms

Join AIA Atlanta and ACEC Georgia for a virtual presentation on Management and Employment Practices Risk for Design Firms.

Townley Kenton Commercial Risk Advisor Mason Dwinnell examines the management and employment practices liability exposures that many A&E firms are underinsured for, regardless of size, including discrimination, wrongful termination, retaliation, and the personal liability that directors and officers face in their roles. Co-presented with Ajay Patel, senior claims counsel at Travelers, the session brings both legal and insurance perspectives together and gives attendees a practical framework for assessing and addressing their exposure.
