Directors and Officers Liability

Protecting you and your company

Cover designed to protect you

With the highly regulated environment that companies operate in today, there is a growing need to protect directors, officers and senior management from an ever widening range of exposures. A decision that adversely affects shareholders, employees, customers, or creditors, or is in breach of a regulatory issue, can lead to a lawsuit that may leave individuals personally liable.

Cover can also be designed to offer protection for the company itself against shareholder suits, employment practice liability and other such claims.

Understanding the insurance market and driving outcomes for you

Insurers are constantly adjusting to market conditions. Large and numerous claims can mean they are either seeking to mitigate their exposure and in some cases, exit segments of the market altogether. For clients who are considered medium to high risk they are now facing higher premiums and deductibles. We understand the market pressures and have local and global resources to ensure you and your business are adequately covered for the most competitive premium achievable in such difficult markets.
