Protection for the exposures faced by directors, officers, managers, and other business entities arising from the governance, and management activities of your business.
Litigation concerning illegal conduct, occupational health and safety, and breach of directors’ or officers’ duties in Australia is on the increase. Often allegations made against a company’s management may be unfounded, however the cost of defence can be substantial. A Management Liability policy is specifically geared to protect you and cover your defence costs. Without the right insurance you could risk losing, not just your business, but also your personal assets.
