About directors and officers insurance
Directors and officers liability insurance protects individual managers, and often the company itself, against claims alleging wrongful acts in the management of the business. Defence costs alone can be substantial without cover.
Policies respond to claims from shareholders, regulators, employees and creditors, and a review at renewal can reveal opportunities to broaden cover or reduce cost.
What it can cover
- Defence costs and legal fees
- Claims by shareholders, regulators and creditors
- Employment practices allegations
- Entity cover for securities claims
- Outside directorship cover
- Run off for retired directors
