Directors & Officers Insurance
Directors and officers (D&O) insurance protects the personal assets of corporate executives, board members, and organizational leaders when they are personally sued for decisions made in their official capacity. Shareholders, employees, competitors, creditors, and even government regulators can bring legal action against company leadership — and legal defense costs alone can be financially devastating. D&O insurance steps in to cover those personal liabilities and defense costs, helping businesses attract and retain strong leadership without exposing executives to undue personal financial risk.
