Directors and officers liability insurance, or D&O, allows them to feel safer in performing their daily tasks and responsibilities.
What can be covered:
- civil liability for damage to third parties;
- cost of the investigation;
- costs of legal representation for lawyers, auditors, etc.;
- fines and penalties;
- costs for repairing reputation;
Such coverage may extend to defense costs arising from criminal and regulatory investigations or trials as well; in fact, often civil and criminal actions are brought against directors and officers simultaneously. Intentional illegal acts, however, are typically not covered under D&O policies.
