What is "Greenhushing?" As one might suspect from the name, this is not about limiting ESG activities, but rather downplaying them in public communications. Over the last couple of years there has been a public backlash in the U.S. to ESG initiatives, where they are seen only as a means of advancing agendas which they associate with the "left" of the political spectrum. Lawsuits have been levied (American Airlines), and references to green and social initiatives during earnings calls have dropped significantly. In bringing suit the plaintiffs would have "...to demonstrate that they suffered a loss as a result of directors' decisions to limit the publication of ESG credentials." Damned if you do, damned if you don't. US companies acting one way, multi national companies with US operations potentially another, but with a wary eye. Be certain of one thing, that in a Trump presidency this will be a growing and very real concern! #DandO #ManagementLiability #ESG #Greenhush #BRP #RiskyBusiness https://lnkd.in/eYzz6rcD

Trump is coming for your FLSA sublimit! It may have sounded ridiculous in theory, but Trumps proposal for a blanket exemption from income tax for income earned from overtime work may actually be something that is worked on in Congress given today's realities. (Despite the fact it would reduce tax revenues by 1.1 trillion over 10 years!) Too many questions - would it be both sides of the payroll tax? Would employers steer employees to that work? For certain, employees will find ways to request more overtime work raising labor costs. Also for certain, there would be increased debate over exempt vs. non-exempt, putting many Wage & Hour sublimits at stake. All at a soft market time when many EPL carriers and newer market entrants are giving away 250k sublimits to win business. This might be just be one big element in reducing the available capacity out there, and eliminating some newer D&O\EPL startups... #EPL #WageAndHour #FLSA #EmploymentPractices #ManagementLiability #BRP #RiskyBusiness https://lnkd.in/dBJmYaFB

Last night, our BRP family took Halloween to the next level with an evening full of costumes, candy, and spooky fun! 🧙♀️🦸♂️ From superheroes to classic monsters, BRP employees and their little ones hit the streets for some trick-or-treating adventures. Happy Halloween!

The BRP Halloween Potluck was a success! We had a full menu with wayyy too much food and costumes all around. This year we had Mona Lisa, Tiger Woods, a Burt without his Ernie, an 8-foot T-Rex, and more. Happy Halloween from BRP! 🎃
