Directors and officers liability

Companies and their directors and officers face increasingly strict regulations and a hostile litigation environment. A decision that adversely affects shareholders, employees, customers or creditors, or that runs afoul of a regulatory issue, can lead to a lawsuit or regulatory investigation that may leave individuals personally liable. A directors and officers (D&O) liability insurance policy offers individuals and the company protection from negligent wrongful acts.

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 leadership roles.

While D&O coverage is subject to some exclusions and other coverage terms, the policy typically pays for defense costs, settlements and judgments, usually in excess of a deductible for those claims.

The US government’s initiatives focus on corporate policies related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), but anti-bribery and environmental, social and governance (ESG) policies may also be impacted.US President Donald Trump has recently issued several executive orders governing federal policy that are diverging from regulations in other jurisdictions in the Western world.
