Directors & Officers Insurance
Even though a company’s liability is limited, a Director’s liability isn’t. Without appropriate insurance protection in place, as a Director or Officer you, personally, could lose everything.
As a Company Director you are exposed to a large amount of regulation, financial pressure and legislation including Health & Safety law, Employment law, Lenders requirements and Shareholders requirements and expectations.
There are over 200 pieces of legislation for which you a Company Director or Officer could be held personally liable for. This could include, corporate manslaughter, company liquidation, misleading figures, unfair dismissals and workplace neglect.
Claims can arise out of breach of trust, breach of duty, neglect, error and wrongful trading.
If a case arises against you – not your company – but you personally as a Director of the business, you could be forced to pay compensation and legal costs in defending yourself. The worst case scenario is that you could lose all your personal wealth or even face a custodial sentence.
With a Directors and Officers insurance policy if you have to defend yourself against any allegations of wrongdoing in running the Company, your legal costs of “defending your corner” are covered.
