Charlie E. Bernier

Charlie Bernier is an attorney and principle professional liability consultant at ECBM Insurance Brokers and Consultants in our corporate office in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania.
Recognizing a need for more comprehensive cyber insurance coverage than what is typically included in a General Liability policy (if included at all), Charlie worked with an A+ rated carrier to create a cyber insurance policy that doesn’t include the multitude of exclusions that are found in traditional policies. His intimate knowledge of cyber insurance has led Charlie to speak at numerous conferences and cyber security industry events.
