Insurance for Directors

The world of insurance is spreading its wings in different arenas, providing relief and solutions for situations that might cause you a lot of difficulties in your smooth life. Amongst all, insurance for directors is emerging as the most useful instrument for tackling the difficulties of directors and officers of any organization. Directors and Officers insurance can also cover the legal costs.

Traditionally, insurance for directors covers financial liability claims against a company's officers and directors. The insurance can be extended to the CEO, chief financial officer, vice presidents, and shareholder-elected directors.

A traditional directors & officers insurance policy might include the following coverage for private companies:

· Coverage for securities liability for IPOs and private placements
· Illegal and unethical termination
· Harassment
· Retaliation
· Discrimination
