AT A GLANCE
Directors’ and officers’ liability insurance is an important safeguard for a company’s managers. This insurance is aimed at people in senior positions, such as a company’s directors or management team, but also the members of its de facto governing bodies that are often overlooked. It covers the potential risks associated with this level of responsibility.
In today’s interconnected business world, even minor missteps can have major consequences. A wrong decision or neglected duty can lead to legal disputes. Social media is also an increasingly important factor. Posts, statements or comments made by management can directly impact a company’s reputation and image – and even affect share prices. Decision-makers are also at the mercy of changing legislation, inflation, interest rate policies and geopolitical situations.
We can help you put these personal risks for managers in the context of a D&O insurance policy, and develop targeted solutions for you. Our expertise includes dealing with international programs and the impact of buying or selling companies or IPOs. But we can also support you in the unpleasant event of a claim. Our four-member Claims team, which is the only one of its kind on the market and exclusively handles “special risks” cases, is made up of lawyers and counsels who are on hand to support you as sparring partners.
