Directors' salvation hinges on right insurance cover
Article Abstract:
Corporation directors may wish to consider directors and officers (D&O) insurance as a means to protect themselves against risk and litigation. D&O insurance complements professional indemnity (P&I) insurance, which covers a company for the acts of its employees (including directors) in relation to business it conducts with third parties. D&O insurance covers the activities of directors and officers relating to the management of the company. D&O policies are usually divided into two categories: company reimbursement and direct cover.
