Risk Management
Hermes Netburn's nationally and internationally recognized risk management practice
assists clients of the Firm to protect themselves through proactive measures. Finding
that "off-the-shelf" insurance policies are often inadequate for our clients' needs,
our attorneys have become leaders in drafting and negotiating custom-designed insurance
policies that fit the needs of clients and contain clear and unambiguous terms and
conditions without overbroad exclusions or unrealistic prerequisites to coverage.
We can assist you to identify and to obtain the coverage you need, whether it is
a general commercial liability policy or the latest form of "cyber policy" relating
to online communication and data security.
However, we also recognize that the best risk management strategy for an organization
may not be insurance-based, and can assist you to develop a plan that suits your
needs. Beyond insurance coverage, Hermes Netburn has experience in helping clients
in a wide array of industries develop risk management philosophies and structures
that reflect their goals. We work with our clients to understand their business,
their needs, and the legal landscape in which they operate. With that understanding,
our attorneys have assisted clients to design and implement comprehensive risk management
plans, including self-insurance programs, policies for financial reporting compliance,
standards for quality control and safety, and controls for computer and network
security (including security for third-party personal and financial information).
