Specialists in D&O underwriting
Directors & Officers (D&O) insurance is designed to protect business leaders from personal liability arising from decisions made in their official capacity whilst acting on behalf of the company.
This coverage typically safeguards against claims related to alleged wrongful acts, such as breaches of fiduciary duty, mismanagement or errors in judgment.
D&O insurance is essential for attracting and retaining talented executives as it provides peace of mind by covering legal costs, settlements and other liabilities. By investing in D&O insurance, companies not only protect their leadership but also promote a culture of responsible governance.
