As the director, partner or officer of your company, in the event of a claim being made against you personally, D&O will provide financial protection and cover the costs of defending your case in court as well as settling any successful claims. Even though your company may have liability insurance policies of its own, as a company director or officer it is also worth taking out your own D&O insurance policy to give you added peace of mind if something doesn’t go to plan.

Company directors and officers have significant responsibilities and make hundreds of important decisions on a regular basis. Therefore it’s likely that even the most experienced professional will make the occasional mistake, and having a D&O policy in place will ensure that you can focus on running your business without worrying about your personal financial liability.
