Directors Officers liability insurance is designed to protect your senior management team from claims arising from the decisions and actions that you have taken whilst managing the business.
Director’s responsibilities are defined both in common law and in statutes such as the Companies Act, Insolvency Act, Environmental Protection Act, Health and Safety at Work Act, Data Protection Regulations etc.
If a claim is brought against one of the directors of the business for a ‘Wrongful act’ then the director cannot rely on the company providing an indemnity as this is often in contravention of the Companies Act and so it is essential to buy an insurance policy that can protect the individuals and their personal assets.
