Directors’ and Officers’ Liability

With regulators and stakeholders increasingly inclined to hold individuals to account when things don’t go to plan, having comprehensive Directors’ and Officers’ cover in place is more important than ever.

 

Directors’ and Officers’ (D&O) Liability insurance covers directors and officers for financial losses arising from actual or alleged wrongful acts.

Increasing regulatory enforcement

While the liability of a company is limited, a director's liability is unlimited, meaning their personal assets are at stake when problems arise. With an increasing trend for regulators and stakeholders to hold directors and officers personally responsible for business failures, D&O insurance has become crucial for attracting and retaining key people.
