Future topics

June 2026: The Sanctions challenge: Staying ahead in a multi-jurisdictional landscape

As geopolitical tensions rise, sanctions are spreading around the world, and the management of sanctions risk is more critical than ever. The multi-jurisdictional nature of sanctions liability, and the rapid rate of change, create the risk of inadvertent non-compliance, contractual disputes and reputational harm.

September 2026: Litigation Funding under the spotlight: Global developments and Insurer strategies

The ready availability of litigation funding is vital for access to justice, but its rapid and largely unregulated growth brings new challenges for insurers. Lack of transparency, inconsistent disclosure rules, and potential conflicts of interest can undermine the integrity of proceedings.

October 2026: Corporate structures under pressure: Managing head office liability risks

Globalisation has driven parent companies to design corporate structures with clear boundaries for finance, management and liability. But recent litigation trends are challenging these safeguards, with an increasing number of claims seeking to hold parent companies directly accountable for the actions of overseas subsidiaries.

For insurers, this evolving risk means heightened exposure under General Liability and Directors’ & Officers Liability policies, as parent companies face growing scrutiny and potential liability for global operations.

December 2026: Insuring the final frontier: Space risks and emerging coverage challenges

As commercial space activity accelerates and satellite networks become critical to global infrastructure, insurers in 2026 face a new frontier of risk. From orbital debris and cyber threats to complex regulatory frameworks, the space sector is reshaping traditional underwriting norms.
