In their article, Partner David Kroeger and Associate Huiyi Chen explore the market for cyber insurance coverage. They focus on the trend in which insurers are limiting coverage for “state sponsored” or “state backed” cyber incidents—in other words, incidents perpetrated by a government or nation state against another state. For companies that rely on cyber insurance coverage, such reductions in coverage could be significant, the authors observe.

In their Insurance Law Update, Partner David Kroeger and Associate Huiyi Chen explain that purchasing directors and officers insurance (D&O) has not been standard practice for public companies in China – until recently. Indeed, the demand for such insurance has spiked due to the new Chinese Securities Law that went into effect in March 2020.
