Directors & Officers Liability Insurance

If you are a company director of a company of any size there are risks which you could be held liable for.  The law now requires that company directors are able to protect and insure themselves against any liability for breach of duty, negligence, default and breach of trust – this can include insurance for criminal proceedings.

Directors and Officers Liability (D&O) Insurance can not only protect company directors but also offices and senior managers within the organisation against their decisions and actions taken within the business.

Directors Insurance also covers:

• Corporate Manslaughter
• Health & Safety at work
• Data Protection Act
• Disability Discrimination Act (DDA)
• Racial Discrimination
• Sex Discrimination
• Age Discrimination
• Consumer Protection

Claims can arise from many different sources including:

• Shareholders
• Government and Regulatory bodies
• Employees
• Clients
• Suppliers

Whatever size of company you are, the requirements for company directors are the same and Direct Insurance have a specialist team to discuss and advise on the most appropriate protection required.
