Directors and officers Liability

Key Benefits - covers legal liability of Directors & Officers while in duty

The policy is designed to protect against legal claims for wrongful acts of Directors or officers in the performance of their corporate duties. Wrongful acts include omissions, errors, misstatements, misleading statements, neglect or breach of duty. Beneficiaries are the Directors, Officers or the Company (the body corporate) itself.

This product is addressed to:

• Indian companies need to purchase D&O insurance to protect their Directors and Officers from exposures arising out of compliance with various statutes. Directors have highly demanding legal obligations to uphold. They also have a fiduciary duty to exercise skill, care and diligence.
• Further, even independent and nominee directors are held to be equally accountable to stakeholders.
• Also, as Indian companies foray into the global marketplace to sell their products and services or to mobilize capital, they need to purchase D&O insurance to secure protection from overseas exposures.
