SPECIAL RISKS WEEK

Between 31 March and 4 April 2025, Beale & Co's insurance team provided expert insight into a number of insurance topics, with a particular focus on regulatory issues.

Alongside ‘typical’ claims in ‘traditional’ product lines, situations frequently arise which require more specialist knowledge of the insurance industry, a particular business sector or a technical area of law.  This year, our Special Risks Week focused on regulatory issues which might impact those in the insurance industry.

Over the course of our Special Risks Week, our team of insurance experts delivered a series of insightful seminars, podcasts and articles covering a range of regulatory topics, to assist you in identifying future trends and managing potential impacts on your business.  You can find all of the content published so far this week at the bottom of this page.

  • Directors & Officers seminar on Wednesday 2 April 2025  – The centrepiece of this year’s Special Risks Week was our D&O conference where lawyers from Beale & Co and Crown Office Chambers, alongside guest speakers from a number of leading international firms within the Global Insurance Law Connect (GILC) network, hosted a series of panel discussions exploring key regulatory issues impacting D&O Insurance in the UK and globally. We will be releasing recordings of each of the panel discussions as a series of standalone podcasts in the next few weeks.
