Abstract
I examine the link between changes in the disclosure behavior of firms and changes in ex ante litigation risk as proxied by changes in the firms' director and officer insurance premiums. I find evidence that there is a negative link between the voluntary disclosure of bad news and ex ante litigation risk. I find no evidence of a statistically significant link between the voluntary disclosure of good news and ex ante litigation risk.
