Directors and Officers Liability Insurance

Directors and Officers Liability Insurance cover protects companies’ directors, officers and senior managers against claims arising from their decisions and actions taken whilst managing their business.

In a claim situation the Director’s personal assets are at risk. Directors cannot rely on the company indemnifying them. Often such an indemnity from the company will be in contravention of the Companies Act. Regardless of the stipulations of the Companies Act in the event of insolvency there will be no prospect of the company indemnifying the Directors and Officers.

The Directors and Officers Liability Insurance Policy will pay on behalf of the Director legal costs and expenses and any civil damages awarded against them.
