RISK MANAGEMENT TO FOCUS ON YOUR BUSINESS DECISIONS

As a corporate director, officer or member of the senior management team of your firm, it’s your job to trust your expertise, vision and judgment and make the tough corporate and business decisions. These decisions will necessarily impact the varying interests of a wide-ranging set of stakeholders with an equally wide ranging set of priorities and agenda.

There are many sources of liability for directors and officers. A Directors and Officers Liability insurance policy protects you, your corporate board members and your company from lawsuits alleging managerial negligence, errors and omissions, misrepresentations or misstatements that are alleged to have been committed by directors or officers.

Although no insurance policy will truly cover intentional acts, D&O policies will still afford defence costs coverage to Directors and Officers relative to allegations of fraud, willful acts and other criminal matters until a final, non-appealable adjudication has been reached.

DIRECTOR AND OFFICER ESTATE PROTECTION

Directors and Officers are personally liable for corporate statutory liabilities (e.g.: wages, withholding taxes, corporate taxes). This means that personal assets are at stake in the event that the organization cannot cover them in the normal course of its operations. A D&O policy will cover these costs thereby taking Directors and Officers personal assets out of the equation.
