Directors and Officers Insurance

Directors and officers of a corporation have personal liabilities for duties imposed on them by various laws. Due to this stringent legislation, these duties are often demanding and arduous. Directors and officers insurance is intended to protect company directors and senior managers against claims that can arise from their decisions and/or actions while managing their business/company. The costs of a successful defense can be substantial, but with directors and officers insurance, you are covered.

Some of the common claims that can be brought against directors and officers are - breach of duty/neglect, trade practices and fair trading legislation, misleading and deceptive conduct in mergers and acquisitions, claims made by employees which can include unfair dismissal and sexual harassment, defamation, breach of contract and libel and slander.

The economic environment today is extremely complex and in some ways quite fragile. Any business decision can have far-reaching consequences and may not go over well with everyone in the company. This can put a decision maker's personal assets at risk. It is common practice for directors and officers of corporations and associations to be named in litigation arising from a variety of situations. Because of this, directors and officers insurance is becoming essential.

Buying a directors and officers insurance policy will not be easy. There are many things that you have to take into consideration. You need a policy that provides professional liability protection for the organization's directors, officers, board members, trustees, paid staff, and volunteers.
