• Directors and Officers Liability Insurance

(D&O) provides financial protection for the directors and/or officers of both public and privately held companies against suits filed against them in conjunction with the performance of their duties as they relate to the company. D&O insurance is usually written on a claims-made basis, meaning that coverage applies to a covered claim regardless of when the act or omission giving rise to the claim occurred, as long as the claim is made during the policy period. Most D&O policies do not impose a duty to defend on the insurer but do provide coverage for defense costs. However, the insurance company does have the right to associate with the defense and approve defense strategies, expenditures and settlements.
