Tariffs Trigger D&O Insurance Demand Amid Growing Litigation Risk

Tariff-linked class action lawsuits are on the rise, with Dow Inc. investors suing for allegedly failing to disclose the impact of tariffs on its business. This may lead to increased demand for directors and officers liability insurance (D&O insurance) as companies face potential litigation and reevaluate their supply chains. Securities class actions tend to reflect market trends, and the uncertainty of tariffs and trade deals heightens litigation risk. Insurance firms have noticed an increase in interest for relevant coverage.
