Leading a business means making important decisions, which can sometimes mean making the wrong decision. If this happens, your business leaders can be held liable by affected customers, third parties or through official investigations.

Although most businesses purchase Employers’ and Third-Party Liability cover, this does not typically cover personal proceedings against directors. These claims can be extremely costly; therefore, D&O Insurance provides financial cover to defend your management team and for damages awarded to those affected.

Our expert team will work closely with you, to understand how your business operates and the risks you face before crafting a bespoke insurance programme to protect your business and your people.

All businesses face unique risks, so please get in touch with our expert team to ensure your business has the correct cover in place.

DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

WHAT IS TYPICALLY COVERED?

Claims made by investors or other shareholders


Defence costs, compensation, and fines as a result of a health and safety claim from an injured employee


Defence costs and fines from your personal involvement with the administration of a pension scheme


Employment claims


CHELMSFORD STAR CASE STUDY

“It makes things a lot easier, particularly when insurance isn’t your area of expertise. You want someone who understands how you’re set up, the way your board is, how you have to get things approved, and that you’re commercial, but do have other aspects.”
