Private D&O Insurance: Things You Should Know
Companies are staying private longer and purchasing private company directors’ and officers’ liability (D&O) insurance, sometimes known as “Management Liability” insurance. When it comes to D&O coverage, most private companies focus on two things: obtaining it, and keeping the premium low. When a company faces a claim, however, it discovers there is much more complexity to private D&O insurance, and often broader coverage than a public company D&O policy. Accessing and maximizing the available coverage may require a concerted, strategic effort on the part of the company, its insurance broker, and insurance coverage counsel. This program will cover:
- Key features of management liability policies
- Common exclusions and limitations
- The practical impact of certain clauses – and widely-available coverage enhancements that can mitigate these impacts
- Implications of common pitfalls and mistakes in reporting and managing claims
