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.

Since the COVID-19 pandemic, many workplaces are encouraging employees to return to the office to reinforce the importance of collaborative, face-to-face work and promote a positive workplace culture. As a result, many workplaces are implementing and re-examining their internal hybrid work models and flexible working policies to ensure they align with the current work landscape post-COVID-19. As organisations reassess hybrid working models, disputes are increasingly being heard before the Fair Work Commission. The outcomes of these matters provide timely guidance on how employment practices are being scrutinised and where risk is emerging from an EPL perspective.

Directors and officers: governing with confidence in a high-stakes environment

Australia’s resources and mining sector plays a foundational role in the national economy. It is also one of the most scrutinised, regulated, and operationally complex industries in which to serve as a director or officer. The challenge for directors and officers is not avoiding risk altogether but understanding risk well enough to govern decisively. This is where a resilient approach to D&O risk becomes critical.
