Contractual disputes are contributing to heightened litigation risks to Directors and Officers

Contract management is crucial for businesses but comes with risks, particularly around service type, quality, timeliness, omissions, fees, and service providers. These risks can impact various aspects of an organisation, including director and officer liability, corporate governance, culture, and reputational risk.
