D & O and Management Liability Insurance Partner Thomas Bentz Jr. and Senior Counsel Shannon Graving had their book "A Buyer's Guide to Obtaining Comprehensive D&O Insurance Coverage," highlighted in the spring 2010 issue of Directors & Boards.

In its review of Mr. Bentz and Ms. Graving's book, the magazine encouraged its subscribers to "read before buying a D&O insurance policy."
