If a premarital agreement is a prerequisite to getting married, doing all you can to ensure that your agreement will be upheld against a future challenge should be your guiding priority. Accordingly, there are some helpful tips—the do’s and don’ts—to consider with respect to a premarital agreement. When thoughtfully negotiated and wisely drafted, a premarital agreement should ultimately satisfy both parties.

Senior leaders increasingly take opportunities to sit on boards or serve as executives of outside entities. But while serving in that capacity, is an individual director or officer covered under his/her organization’s directors and officers (D&O) liability insurance policy? Although such opportunities may benefit all companies involved, it also raises significant liability issues. As a result, it is critical to understand how D&O insurance protects executives that serve on other companies’ boards.
Companies manage many risks, and it’s easy for boards to get bogged down discussing financial and compliance risks. But that can mean they’re not paying enough attention to risks that are truly critical, including cybersecurity that is continually evolving or threatening. Directors need to make sure they have an effective risk management (ERM) program and are focusing on the right key risks—the ones that could spell success or failure for the company.
Today, more business and IT executives are implementing dynamic threat intelligence and information sharing to shift cybersecurity and privacy capabilities from reactive to proactive. They understand that they can build business advantages and customer trust by detecting, responding to and mitigating cyberthreats in real time.
