Directors & Officers Liability

D&O Coverage

Directors & Officers Insurance, or D&O insurance, is a type of liability insurance that provides financial protection for the personal assets of company directors and officers in the event they are sued for alleged wrongful acts while managing the organization.

 

One key aspect of Directors & Officers Insurance is its ability to cover legal fees, settlements, and other costs incurred during lawsuits related to decisions made by directors and officers in their managerial roles.

 

D&O insurance is essential for both private and public companies to ensure comprehensive protection for their leadership against the increasing risks and potential legal challenges they may face.
