16th Annual Conference on EMPLOYMENT PRACTICES LIABILITY INSURANCE

Tuesday, January 25 to Wednesday, January 26, 2011
Park Lane , New York City, NY, United States

Be a part of the nation’s premier EPLI forum and ensure that you are prepared to manage and respond to the increase in the number of claims being filed, the rising costs of litigation, and the evolving initiatives of the EEOC

Discrimination, retaliation and other types of employment cases are crowding court dockets across the country. And with such cases often resulting in substantial payouts to plaintiffs, either through settlements or verdicts, it is more important than ever that claims professionals, underwriters, risk managers, in-house counsel, brokers, and outside counsel thoroughly understand how to minimize exposure to risk and reduce the costs of defending against EPL claims.

Failure to stay ahead of the curve could lead to catastrophic losses, including multi-million dollar verdicts and settlement amounts. That is why you cannot afford to miss American Conference Institute’s 16th Annual Employment Practices Liability Insurance conference. For the past fifteen years, this conference has been attracting leaders from both the insurance and employment law communities. And this year’s program promises to be the most informative yet. Our exceptional faculty will provide attendees with key strategies and best practices for:
