D&O Liability Insurance

Helping directors face the future and conduct their business with confidence

D&O Liability Insurance

D&O is in our DNA and our new CorporateGuard offering is the strongest we have ever produced. It’s built on our longevity in the sector, our global franchise, our technical expertise and our experience handling more claims against directors than anyone else.

We know that directors are embracing opportunities in IT investment, product innovation or emerging markets, but we’ve also seen that they’re facing unprecedented regulatory and political scrutiny, mounting shareholder activism, a recessionary environment, intense competition for business and talent, and an irresistible rise in claims.
