Andrea helps clients proactively manage risks by auditing clients’ cyber and other insurance programs to identify gaps in coverage before renewal and works with clients, their brokers, and insurers to fill gaps through manuscript endorsements. She also drafts insurance sections of cyber incident response plans, participates in tabletop exercises and teaches executives and board members about cyber, professional liability, and directors and officers insurance claims.
