Directors & Officers Liability Insurance
Being a company director or officer makes you vulnerable to allegations of wrongful acts in the course of doing your job.
D&O liability insurance protects your company through indemnification should your directors and officers be found liable
for legal misconduct, errors, and allegations. No matter the size of your organisation, this policy protects you from claims
made against you by a host of third parties – from shareholders to customers. It lets you focus on running the company
instead of worrying over protracted litigation.
