Take Cover from Risky Business: Insurance Considerations for Mass Tort, Class Action, Supply Chain Disruption and Recalls
This session will explore the essential role of insurance in managing legal and operational risks across the CPG industry. From product liability and mass tort exposure to supply chain breakdowns and nationwide recalls, insurance can be a critical risk mitigation tool. Panelists will discuss key coverages, including general liability, product recall, stock throughput and D&O insurance, as well as recent developments in claims, policy exclusions and litigation trends. Attendees will gain practical insights into identifying coverage gaps, negotiating favorable terms and preparing for insurer pushback when stakes are high.
Tariff-ied Yet? Untangling Legal Links in the Supply Chain from Ports to Courts
Join this session for a legal riff spanning the latest tariff and trade developments; assessing legal and operational challenges with unavailable natural resources; how brands can structure contracts at various links in their supply chain; and the need to monitor supplier activity to ensure detection of contaminants, distribution agreements and purchase orders are shaping in-house dynamics as well as export controls.
