Shielding corporate directors and officers from personal financial liability arising from their decisions and actions while serving in their leadership roles.



Directors and Officers (D&O) liability insurance is designed to protect directors and officers of a company from personal financial losses and legal liabilities that may arise from their actions or decisions while serving in their roles.

D&O liability insurance typically covers claims made against directors and officers for alleged wrongful acts, such as:
  • Breach of fiduciary duty: Directors and officers are expected to act in the best interests of the company and its shareholders. If they fail to do so, they may be held liable for breaching their fiduciary duty.
  • Negligence: Directors and officers are expected to exercise a certain level of care, skill, and diligence in their roles. If they are negligent in their duties, resulting in financial losses or harm to the company or its stakeholders, they may be held accountable.
  • Mismanagement: Poor decision-making or mismanagement of company resources can lead to financial losses. Directors and officers may be liable for damages caused by such mismanagement.
  • Employment practices: Claims related to wrongful termination, discrimination, harassment, or other employment-related issues may be brought against directors and officers. D&O liability insurance can provide coverage for these claims.
  • Securities litigation: If a company's stockholders suffer financial losses due to misrepresentation or omission of information, they may file securities lawsuits against the directors and officers involved.

D&O liability insurance can provide coverage for legal defense costs, settlements, and judgments resulting from covered claims. However, it's important to note that policies may have certain exclusions and limitations. Let us help.

Additionally, D&O liability insurance typically does not cover intentional fraudulent acts, criminal activities, or personal profiting at the expense of the company or its stakeholders. It is also important for directors and officers to understand that insurance coverage may be subject to a deductible and certain policy limits.
