Bridging the gap between insurance coverage and effective risk management is paramount for family offices. A lack of proper insurance coverage is increasing vulnerabilities around the world pursuant to the recent Dentons survey report ‘The Evolving Risk Landscape for Family Offices.’ According to the report, cyber insurance is held by less than half in North America, but this number plunges to a third in other regions. The majority are underinsured in several other realms as well, exposing family offices to potentially huge losses in the event of the unexpected. Proper protection demands a comprehensive strategy, particularly in today’s evolving risk landscape and rapidly shifting cyber environment. Thank you to our survey partners for their assistance and leadership in bringing these findings to the family office community.

📚 “It’s cool to go to school!” Dentons encourages young Indigenous Australian students 📚 Every year Dentons has the incredible opportunity to participate in the Lilla Sports & Storytelling Festival in the Watarrka National Park, located in the Northern Territory of Australia. The driving focus of the annual Festival is to encourage young Indigenous Australian students who live in remote communities to attend school. This year, from 12 to 14 June, our Dentons team, consisting of Partners Campbell Hudson and Michelle Segaert, Senior Associate Elouise Casey, and Solicitors Nicholas Buxton and Jessica Derrick, joined students from remote schools for the festival filled with sports, drama, art, and cultural activities. The festival’s focus on encouraging education and fostering relationships among Indigenous Australian students is truly inspiring. We’re proud to support the organisers Watarrka Foundation and contribute to closing the education gap. A huge thank you to all the volunteers, supporters, and the Traditional Owners at Lilla for making this event possible. Together, we’re making a difference! 🌏✨ You can read more about the 2024 festival here: https://lnkd.in/gM-4Dixs #Dentons #WatarrkaFoundation #LillaSportsandStorytellingFestival #EducationForAll
