Directors and Officers Insurance (D&O) protects and shields a company’s directors and officers from loss. Both D&O Insurance and the risks it covers are complex. Directors, officers, and companies that seek D&O Insurance protection need to be informed about what D&O coverage provides and what it does not protect against. They, and their attorneys, should work with insurance brokers and underwriters to tailor D&O coverage that is uniquely theirs.
In the world of D&O Insurance, lexicon and word meanings are intensely narrow and precise, and coverage frequently hinges on a word’s presence or absence. Even for those familiar with the exacting contractual language of legal agreements, D&O Insurance presents unique and subtle distinctions that are sometimes confusing. Additionally, the complexity of the construction of some D&O agreements can be challenging.
Because of this initial perception, the myth persists that D&O Insurance is too complex to master and its cost is too prohibitive. This is the exact myth that our seminar de-fuses. Indeed, it replaces that myth with reliable, working knowledge of the topic, and will place D&O Insurance among your more potent assets.
