The directors & officers (D&O) insurance marketplace alternates between hard, soft, and stable cycles over time. Depending on the year, various factors dominate the headlines and attempt to explain and/or justify the forces behind the market’s movements. What endures, however, is the fundamental need to protect companies’ balance sheets and individual directors and officers from risks that are constant, and others that are emerging and evolving.
