Directors and Officers Liability Insurance

Managing a business can have its ups and downs, so it pays off to have an insurance policy that protects your organization’s directors and officers. A standard directors and officers (D&O) policy typically covers legal costs, settlements, and other costs associated with indemnification

What is D&O Insurance?  

Directors and officers liability insurance, also called Management Liability Insurance, protects your board’s directors and officers from alleged or actual mismanagement, or wrongful acts that could lead to hefty legal and settlement fees.  

Coverage For a D&O Insurance Policy

Directors and officers liability insurance protects the personal assets of directors and officers and their spouses in case they are sued by employees, vendors, or investors. Typically, D&O insurance includes: 

  • Employment Practices Liability Insurance (wrongful termination, discrimination, failure to promote, sexual harassment, negligence, etc.)
  • Financial consequences for shareholders based on decisions
  • Breach of legal/fiduciary duties
  • Negligence and misrepresentation (alleged) 
  • Incorrect disclosure, misleading statements, reporting concerns
  • Failure to comply with provincial/federal regulations and laws

What are The Most Common Examples of D&O claims? 

If someone on your board of directors or an officer neglects to repay a loan, or your non-profit’s director mismanages funds, you may likely get sued. Other claim examples include wrongful dismissal, discrimination, lack of corporate governance, and failure to comply with regulations.
