Michael A. Rossi

Michael Rossi's cyber and privacy risk and insurance column focuses on insurance issues associated with risks inherent in businesses' increasing reliance on technology.

Mr. Rossi is president and founder of Insurance Law Group, Inc. He has been an insurance lawyer for more than 30 years. He advises large corporate policyholders throughout the country on various insurance policy placements and renewals, including for D&O, E&O/cyber, fiduciary, EPL, casualty, property, crime, and various other coverages. He also has several insurance broker clients throughout the country, where he advises on D&O and E&O/cyber insurance program structures and wording issues for their policyholder clients. He has been advising companies on D&O insurance matters for more than 30 years and works on more than 50 D&O insurance initial placements and renewals a year. 

Mr. Rossi also gives presentations to corporate boards to explain why their company has a “best in class” D&O insurance program. And, when it comes to negotiating policy wordings with insurance carriers, whether based in the United States, Bermuda, or the United Kingdom, rather than take an adversarial posture, he takes a firm but fair and respectful posture, which has proven over the years to be very successful in most situations to get the best wording for his policyholder and insurance broker clients.
