• The D&O Insurer and the Directors' Counsel

From the plaintiff's perspective, money is money, so how can they turn down the settlement the insurer is offering to pay? Because we say that there just won't be any settlement if plantiff counsel insists on going down the other route, seeking the money from the individual, which, while dramatic from thé plaintiff's point of view* may well be complicated and uncertain to yield results. The company and the board want to protect the directors, officers and the company from liability from securities claims and other liabilities that are covered under these policies. Because of this fact, it is important to make sure that you're purchasing the best ABC Side coverage that you can get.
