 State of Play: An Update on Business Interruption Legal Developments » 
 
 Policyholders continue to seek insurance coverage – and redress from the courts – for the closure of businesses and corresponding loss of income resulting from COVID-19. As coverage litigation continues across the country regarding these matters, both policyholders and insurance companies should be aware of recent decisions that have added new wrinkles to business interruption coverage considerations. This article reviews these recent legal decisions, anticipated developments in the future, and potential government response as we near the close of 2020.

 Cyber Crimes and Law Firms » 
 
 Financial institutions, healthcare organizations and retail are often the obvious targets of hackers because of the nature and volume of information they store. However, often overlooked, law firms are just as likely to be targeted. Due to the high quantity of valuable information in their possession, such as trade secrets, business strategies, financial data and more, law firms provide quick access to large amounts of sensitive data stored in their computer systems. Even worse, law firms are notorious for having low levels of security measures in place. In this article, we discuss why law firms are targeted, how they can best protect themselves from hackers and the types of legal implications they may run into when targeted.

 It’s been a whirlwind since Election Day and while the Electoral College vote isn’t until December 14, results are coming into focus. In our final Election Update podcast, NFP’s Suzanne Spradley, Chase Cannon and Kristin Bulat recap the election process, discuss pending litigation and look ahead to what we might see over the next few months. Our experts also offer insights on the US Supreme Court’s consideration of California v. Texas, which challenges the Affordable Care Act’s individual mandate. We’re finishing strong with an episode that’s not to be missed.

As we look ahead, specialized expertise will be increasingly critical to navigating complex challenges and risks. In December, NFP will be hosting a three-part post-election webinar series to offer perspectives on the impact of the results. In the coming weeks, look for details on the webinar dates and times, as well as information on our speakers, all of whom offer unique insights on client solutions and the broader political and economic landscape.
