J.S. Held’s multidisciplinary experts educate and inform on business risk, sharing their insights and perspectives with peers at industry conferences, with journalists and news outlets, and with governments to shape informed decision-making. This commitment to thought leadership and knowledge-sharing extends to the January release of the 2025 J.S.
