Management Liability / Employment Practices Liability (EPL)


EPL insurance protects your company against the financial losses associated with employment litigation. This may include reimbursement for settlements, judgments, and the expense of defending yourself when you are accused of:

  • Breaching an employment contract

  • Discrimination against employees or prospective employees

  • Wrongful termination

  • Sexual or other harassment

Directors and Officers Liability

D&O insurance is intended to provide cover for directors, officers and other insureds – including the company itself in certain circumstances – for liability that arises out of their role as directors or officers of the company.

Crime


If an employee steals money, securities, or property from you or a client, a crime policy reimburses you. Lockton’s experts help you choose the right coverage for your company. A crime policy can also provide coverage from illegal acts of third parties, such as computer fraud, wire transfer fraud, and robbery/burglary that result in a loss.

Professional Indemnity / Errors and Omissions


An errors and omissions or professional indemnity policy covers the defence and settlement expenses associated with professional services provided by a consultant, designer or professional (lawyer, healthcare worker, accountant, engineer, etc.). Such policies also cover products such as technology and other equipment.

How indexation helps to prevent underinsurance in real estate

High inflation has contributed to soaring reconstruction costs in real estate. This inflation is intertwined with high demand, supply chain issues, labour shortages, and expensive energy. Indexation can help keeping sums insured aligned with actual replacement costs, preventing insurance payouts from failing to cover the full costs of a loss event.
