Business Line Directors and Officers

Defending Decisions at the Top.

In the complex world of business, key leaders are entrusted with pivotal decisions. Yet, with high stakes comes high risks. Directors and officers liability insurance, commonly known as D&O insurance, steps in when those decisions, made in good faith, lead to unwanted consequences. It provides a safety net against legal repercussions, though it won’t cover decisions tied to intentional malfeasance or personal gains.

D&O Coverage Explained
D&O insurance can address a variety of situations:

Inaccuracies in financial statements or disclosures
Oversight in enforcing HR policies
Regulatory compliance mishaps
Financial duty breaches, and more.
Remember, coverage specifics can hinge on regional regulations concerning director liabilities.

Choosing the Right D&O Policy for Your Business

Managerial Focus: Some policies concentrate on protecting only the leaders.
Organization-wide Cover: Some extend protection to the entire business.
Your business type and structure will guide your choice of coverage.

D&O Insurance Costs
Several factors influence the pricing of your D&O policy:

Business size and industry

When considering D&O insurance, it’s crucial to dive into the specifics. Understand whether the policy is retroactive, covering claims from past decisions. Decide if you want to lean on your own legal team with an indemnity policy or have all defense costs covered through a duty-to-defend option.
