	Evaluating Exposures When Joining A Board Stuart Baskin, a partner at Shearman & Sterling LLP, spotlights what every candidate should contemplate before taking a seat at any boardroom table.  Separating fact from fiction, he assesses the true exposures of public company directors and officers and arms professionals with the right questions to ask to ensure their interests are well protected.
	Defending Against Security & Privacy Exposures for Directors & Officers Tracie Grella, President of Professional Liability, Executive Liability, Chartis, discusses the rapidly rising cost of data security breaches and the increased vulnerability of corporations. She walks through key regulations in the area of privacy and security, and underscores the potential liability ramifications for directors and officers who are not proactively managing this enterprise-wide exposure.
	Increased Risks for Directors & Officers in a Global Economy Brian Botkin, Executive Vice President, Corporate Accounts Division, Executive Liability, Chartis, explains why every director's nightmare is no longer hypothetical: The frequency of D&O claims overseas has risen dramatically. Executives could face a D&O claim in a foreign jurisdiction and have no access to US-based D&O coverage or corporate indemnification. Brian explains what's behind the increase in D&O claims internationally -- and how this trend is creating a new paradigm in the placement of D&O insurance for multinational companies.
	The State of D&O Claims & Litigation - Chapter 1 Mark Curley, Senior Vice President, D&O Claims, Chartis, outlines the vastly broadened scope of D&O litigation, focusing on the many new facets of derivative claims. He also provides practical protection advice so individuals won't be challenged by the courts to access their D&O coverage.
	The State of D&O Claims & Litigation - Chapter 2 Mark Curley, Senior Vice President, D&O Claims, Chartis, addresses the concern at every boardroom table: What's next? He spotlights key regulatory issues (including a financial restatement-linked clawback provision in Sarbanes-Oxley) that could very well be the next "big thing" in claims against directors and officers. He discusses how D&O coverage is anticipating certain exposures ... and what directors and officers can do to shield themselves from the emerging new breed of claims.
