Directors & Officers Explained

Directors and Officers liability is designed to help protect your senior management team

Decision makers are always in the public eye. As leaders of the company, your directors and officers can be held personally liable for their management decisions. Shareholders, employees, customers, suppliers, competitors, and even the government can sue a privately owned company and its board. Designed specifically for directors and officers of small to mid-sized privately held companies, this policy helps you stay ahead of those liabilities with flexible coverage tailored to your specific needs.
