Emerging technologies, regulatory shifts, and evolving trends are introducing new risks and intensifying existing ones, necessitating proactive governance and risk management strategies. In the Navigating Emerging Liability Risks podcast miniseries, Marsh FINPRO’s liability practice leaders examine directors and officers (D&O) liability, employment practices/wage and hour liability, fiduciary liability, and kidnap, ransom, and extortion risks that organizations might expect to face.
With various states implementing their own pay transparency laws, the potential for legal challenges is greater than ever. Employers must ensure compliance to avoid costly lawsuits and reputational harm, making it crucial to stay informed about these changes.
Join host La’Vonda McLean, Marsh’s Employment Practices and Wage/Hour Product Leader, as she engages with Joseph Kelly, National Practice Leader for Fidelity Employment and Fiduciary Liability products at Sompo, and Rachel Freedman, Vice President and Head of EPL Claims. Together. They explore the implications of pay transparency laws, discuss the associated legal risks, and share strategies to ensure your pay practices comply with the latest regulations.
