Spiralling business interruption costs from cyber-attacks exacerbated by PII getting into the wild is impacting organisations across all industries. Against this backdrop, cyber risk is ranked as the number one current and predicted future risk globally in Aon’s 2021 Global Risk Management Survey. As organisations respond to this mercurial threat by reinforcing their cyber defences and electing to transfer risk using insurance, the possibility of experiencing a cyber related business interruption continues to be a significant concern. Drawing on the deep knowledge of Aon and Crawford cyber incident and claims experts globally — this webinar will focus on how to manage a cyber insurance claim as effectively and efficiently as possible in the event of an incident. In this webinar you will learn:
· how to prepare for, respond to and mitigate the impact of a cyber loss
· pitfalls to navigate for certain industries and practical case studies
· lessons learned from managing a long series of cyber claims

After Senate Democrats failed to achieve consensus on the Build Back Better bill (BBB) by the end of 2021, what are its prospects for passage in 2022?
As the Senate resumes work in January, the BBB has been sent to the back burner for at least a few weeks, while the upper chamber prioritizes voting rights legislation.
Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., told members he expects some version of the BBB to pass eventually. Considering Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., rejected the $1.7 trillion House-passed package, it is widely accepted the bill will require a major rewrite before coming up for a vote. Schumer, however, remains adamant it will all work out in the end.

Please Join Us for a Breakfast Briefing with the Oshkosh Chamber of Commerce Hiring and Recruitment Issues during COVID Times and a Tight Labor Market
Employers in the Fox Valley were dealing with a tight labor market before 2020 but now things are even more challenging. In this highly politicized environment, federal contractors, healthcare, and large employers are bracing for the impact of a federal vaccine mandate. This program will examine how to discuss an applicant’s vaccination status during the interview process as well as other COVID-related topics. We will also discuss other legal challenges, such as: the potential liability impact of modifying your pre-hire drug test process, the legal implications of providing hiring incentives or recovering them if a new hire leaves, and how to avoid a discriminatory hiring practice, among other hiring issues. This program is free and is presented by employment attorneys James Macy and Jill Pedigo Hall from von Briesen & Roper. We welcome every company’s participation and input.
When: Thursday, November 18, 2021 8:00-9:15 - breakfast briefing webinar Where: Virtually - via Zoom Register: Click here to register on the Oshkosh Chamber of Commerce website. This program is open to Chamber members as well as non-members. If you are not a member of the Oshkosh Chamber, please contact Mark Halfen to register.
Despite some disruption to the deal market caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the fundamentals of getting transactions done – buying, selling and raising capital – are still largely consistent. During this webinar, we will review what the transaction world was like in the first few months of the pandemic; why deal-making quickly got back on track; and then take a closer look at what is currently motivating sellers and buyers. The webinar also will examine how both sides are weighing the valuation question as well as what issues C-suite leaders and boards should be considering during the deal-making process.
