DIRECTORS & OFFICERS INSURANCE
D&O
a property damage liability insurance
Perhaps the most famous recent example of how high claims can be made was the Kirch Group’s successful lawsuit against Deutsche Bank. The compensation achieved reached nearly one billion euros.To what extent the D & O insurance entered here, however, is not known. But even in much smaller disputes, the question of liability of corporate governance is increasingly called into question. As a result, demand for D & O insurance across all business units is increasing. It offers the responsible parties protection against complicated legal claims of third parties and also liability claims of their own company or association. These claims may be civil or criminal. The financial risks of such claims are often life-threatening.
D&O insurance is increasingly important for any type of company – not just large global players.
It basically provides protection for companies, clubs and associations to protect their managers – among others – against financial losses.
Claims brought against the decision-makers of such institutions can reach astonishing levels. Decision-makers need D&O insurance to fend off unjustified claims or cover payments where such are awarded.
Claims are often brought forward by apparently outsiders or shareholders. Even the company itself may turn against its own directors or officers. The financial consequences for involved individuals can be severe.
- Protection for the members of the operational and supervisory boards and their subsidiaries
- Extended reporting periods
- Unlimited retroactive insurance
- External mandates
- Cover for legal fees and court costs
- Compliance issues
