Course Overview

When the Wire Is Gone and the Policy Won't Pay

2026-06-12 13:00:00

Business Email Compromise has matured into a structural loss problem that exposes attorneys on three fronts at once, including coverage advice, breach response, and their own professional liability, and the case law on “direct loss,” causation, and the interaction between cyber and commercial crime forms is moving faster than most placement decisions account for. Insurers are litigating funds-transfer fraud and social engineering claims more aggressively, regulators have tightened notification timelines, and class actions challenging standing, data valuation, and harm theories continue to redraw the defense playbook. Counsel who advises on policy placement, manage incident response, or defend post-breach litigation are already exposed, frequently through advisory communications and vendor coordination decisions made before any loss occurred. This program maps the cyber incident lifecycle against responsive policy forms, walks through BEC, ransomware, and hybrid event case studies, and addresses class certification, settlement strategy, indemnification provisions, and bad faith positioning. Attendees will be able to close coverage gaps pre-loss, document advisory decisions defensibly, and coordinate recovery against insurer pushback.
