Directors and Officers Liability

Directors and Officers (D&O) liability insurance policies function as "management errors and omissions liability insurance," covering claims resulting from managerial decisions that have adverse financial consequences.

Such decisions could be related to

 

  • Shares traded on a contingent fee system
  • A drop in share prices resulting from a merger / acquisition
  • Poor business decisions
  • Failure to disclose material information
  • Contractual disputes with contractors / suppliers or franchises
  • Legislation governing Equal pay, Age discrimination, Disability, Sexual Harassment and Wrongful termination

 

D&O liability insurance can be written to cover the directors and officers of for-profit businesses, privately held firms, not-for-profit organizations, and educational institutions.

This is a type of liability insurance covering directors and officers for claims made against them while serving on a board of directors and/or as an officer.

The insurance is closely related to corporate governance, corporations law, and the fiduciary duty owed to shareholders or other beneficiaries.

 

Advantage of Taking Cover

 

  • Protect the personal assets of directors and officers (corporate indemnification is not always possible)
  • Protect corporate assets (from losses that could bankrupt corporations)
  • Attract and keep talented directors and officers (by protecting their personal assets)

 

Risks Covered

D & O Policy is in Two Sections

 

  • The first Section protects the Directors personally when they cannot be reimbursed by the Company.
  • The second section protects the Company but only when they are able to reimburse the Directors or Officers

The policy covers "wrongful acts" which includes includes actual or alleged error, act, misleading statement, breach of duty, omissions or misstatements while acting for the organization.

D&O policies are written on a claims-made basis.

The policy is on a ‘claims made’ basis. ‘Claims made’ means that Coverage will respond to incidents arising on or after the policy retroactive date and which are reported during the term of the policy.

  • External Directorships
  • Spousal Extension
  • Employment Disputes

  • Professional Liability
  • Fines, penalties and punitive damages
  • Liability from pension funds

Deductible
