Insurance Coverage for Business and Professional Liability

Architects face a wide range of risks every day. They must protect their firms against litigation alleging negligence, protect their offices against theft or destruction of property, protect against personal risks ranging from health and disability to life and retirement - and share similar concerns regarding their own employees. Newer and perhaps lesser-known but nonetheless virulent risks also exist - such as those inherent in unproven sustainable products and design, the changing standard of care, hidden electronic “meta” data in our offices, contracts that imply a fiduciary duty, and others. What are all of these risks that can jeopardize the future of one’s practice, one’s firm, and one’s own financial well-being? And once aware of possible risks, what actions should one take? What are the major considerations - including the cost of mitigating those risks - or the cost of ignoring them?

FinTechnicolor: The New Picture in Finance

whitePaper | September 20, 2022

Banking has historically been one of the business sectors most resistant to disruption by technology. Since the first mortgage was issued in England in the 11th century, banks have built robust businesses with multiple moats: ubiquitous distribution through branches; unique expertise such as credit underwriting underpinned by both data and judgment; even the special status of being regulated institutions that supply credit, the lifeblood of economic growth, and have sovereign insurance for their liabilities (deposits). Moreover, consumer inertia in financial services is high. Consumers have generally been slow to change financial-services providers.
