Directors’ & Officers’ Liability Insurance

Directors and Senior Executives work in an increasingly challenging regulatory environment. Companies throughout the world are facing a battery of continually evolving laws, codes and standards.

As a result, the environment represents high risk of personal litigation and unlimited financial liability when decisions are made from an ever-increasing source:

• Shareholders

• Employees

• Environmental Groups

• Regulatory Bodies

• Creditors

• Banks

• Customers

• Suppliers

We recognize the need to protect your directors and officers from such exposure. We know the importance of providing the best management liability protection possible. Being one of Asia’s leading Directors and Officers (D&O) Liability insurers, our new flagship 2010 CorporateGuard Premier Corporate Liability insurance product for stock exchange listed companies (including US Securities exposed corporations) provides broader, more relevant coverage with fewer restrictions and more unique value added services. For Private Limited companies (with no US-based assets and subject to selected industries), please refer to our BusinessGuard First.

All this is underpinned by arguably the most experience D&O claims teams within the insurance industry (both throughout Asia and the World).
 
For a premium indication, please send us a copy of your company’s latest audited financial statements.
