Directors and Officers Liability

A progressively more regulated corporate governance environment is raising the stakes for directors and for companies. In the case of individuals, the consequences can be severe as breaches of statutory regulations can lead to heavy fines and in some extreme situations, imprisonment. In many cases directors accept a career-damaging ban simply because they can not afford the defense costs involved.

Directors and Officers insurance is relevant for any Director, Officer or Senior Manager of a public, private or government organisation. Claims can arise from a variety of sources, including, but not limited to shareholders, customers and employees.

Directors and Officers are particularly vulnerable when going through mergers or acquisitions or if they have US exposures.

With over four decades of experience in providing directors and officers liability insurance, and coupled with our financial strength and global capacity, we are one of the leading providers in the Australasian market.
