Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP partner Lorie Masters, partnering with
insurance broker Marsh and others, analyzed the often complex
issues raised by the insurance coverage actions posed by actions
alleging violations of antitrust laws. "Optimizing Antitrust Coverage in Private
Company D&O Policies," published by Marsh in Insights.
Investigations invoking antitrust laws raise the prospect of both
civil and criminal liabilities. While most of these investigations
are settled or resolved without findings of liability, the defense
costs can be staggering. Policyholders should consider whether
directors and officers or other insurance applies to cover the
costs coming out of such investigations. To maximize coverage,
policyholders should work with their advisors to ensure that
policies are worded so as to enhance the prospects for obtaining
insurance protection for claims alleging "antitrust
violations."
