Director & Officer (D&O) Insurance

In an increasingly litigious business environment, company directors and key decision-makers face personal liability risks for the actions they take in their professional roles. Director & Officer (D&O) Liability Insurance provides essential protection by covering legal costs, settlements, and damages that may arise from lawsuits or regulatory investigations targeting company leaders.

Whether you’re a startup founder, board member, or executive of an established company, D&O coverage ensures that your personal assets are shielded and your leadership can continue with confidence.

Who Needs D&O Coverage...?

• Private and public companies with directors or officers

• Startups seeking funding or venture capital

• Non-profit organisations and associations

• SMEs with active boards or C-suite executives

What Does It Cover?

Wrongful Acts: Alleged misstatements, errors in judgment, negligence, or breach of duty

Employment Practices Liability: Claims related to wrongful dismissal, discrimination, or harassment

Regulatory Investigations: Legal expenses and penalties arising from investigations by authorities

Shareholder Actions: Claims by investors over financial performance or decision-making

Why It’s Important?

Attracting Talent and Investment

Experienced professionals and investors often require D&O coverage as part of risk mitigation before joining a company or funding it.
