Directors' and Officers' Insurance
Why Take Out Directors' and Officers' Insurance?
Directors and officers plus individuals acting in a managerial or supervisory capacity (including employees who make decisions that affect the whole, or a large part of the business of their company, or have the capacity to affect significantly the financial standing of the company), face the real threat of incurring personal financial liability as a result of their actions in the work arena.
Legal actions are commonly brought against individuals by shareholders, regulatory authorities, creditors, customers and employees. D & O cover will protect you against personal liability over a range of circumstances.
Our "SHIELD" policy delivers a broadform cover for medium to large companies seeking quality D&O coverage.
LAUW also has a broad appetite for excess of loss placements.
Claim Examples:
- Directors sued over allegedly misleading statements to the public as to the financial position of the company.
