Directors & Officers Liability Insurance 

Protect Your Directors & Officers from Liability

Also commonly referred to as D&O liability insurance for short, directors and officers liability insurance is a type of policy that protects those who serve as business directors or officers from personal losses in the event that they are sued. This is true if they are sued by not only that business' employees, but also vendors, customers, or any other parties as well.

Why Is Director and Officers’ Insurance Important?

This type of insurance policy is important because of the sheer volume of D&O exposures that even an average-sized business is vulnerable to. This can include not only litigation resulting from securities-related issues, but also regulatory actions, breaches of fiduciary duty, allegations of misrepresentation, and more.


In a larger sense, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance can help build out a well-rounded risk management strategy for your organization. It can not only help attract top-tier candidates to be executives, officers, and other board members, but it can go a long way towards helping to retain them as well.

What is Covered in Directors & Officers Insurance?

While the specifics of all policies will vary slightly depending on the provider you choose to go with, most cover not only defense costs associated with a lawsuit, but also settlements, and other financial costs tied to any allegations of a wrongful act and the resulting lawsuit.



Other examples of the types of situations that are covered under a directors and officers liability insurance policy include accusations of mismanaged funds, serious grievances that are filed by employees, instances of slander, libel, and even copyright infringement.

Naturally, failing to comply with mandatory regulations - either intentionally or unintentionally - can come with some fairly significant fines at a bare minimum. Directors and officers' liability insurance coverage can help protect against that, too.
