Peter C. Catalanotti (Partner-San Francisco), Joseph L. Francoeur (Partner-New York, NY), and Eve Mouzouris (Of Counsel-New York, NY) will present the Wilson Elser Forum webinar “Emerging Trends and Landmark Decisions: Insurer Brokers/Agents and Real Estate Professionals” on September 15, 2026. This webinar provides an overview of emerging professional liability trends affecting insurance agents, brokers, and real estate professionals, examining evolving fiduciary duty claims, expanding scope-of-work expectations, and growing exposure resulting from client expectation gaps in coverage procurement and placement decisions. Also discussed are emerging risks associated with the use of artificial intelligence in quoting, underwriting support, marketing, and property descriptions, as well as increased exposure tied to carrier insolvency and continued hardening of the insurance market. Participants will explore key developments in real estate professional negligence claims, including changes to commission and agency rules, increasing liability for AI-generated misinformation, ongoing nondisclosure and misrepresentation risks, growing antitrust and governance-related litigation affecting brokerages and MLS organizations, and recent case law shaping modern professional liability standards.
