What is Directors' and Officers' Insurance?
Directors’ and Officers’ Liability Insurance is protecting the businesses against the cost of any compensation claims that are made against either directors or key managers for neglect or other wrongful acts.
This could include a breach of confidentiality or trust, an error that has been made or potentially any misleading statements that have been made to clients that could result in legal action. Directors’ and Officers’ cover can provide:-
- Peace of mind for key members of your business
- Financial protection against hefty legal fees
- Flexible policies to suit your needs, and expert advice

If your business has Directors and Key Managers who could potentially be at risk of a claim in the future – then cover can give you that peace of mind that those people can be protected.
