What is Management Liability insurance
and what does it cover?
Management liability insurance, or Directors’ and Officers’ (D&O) liability insurance is insurance cover that offers financial protection to those who are the director, partner, officer or manager of a business. It is designed to cover the cost of claims for compensation made against the insured individual.

an individual incurs if the company is
unable/will not defend the insured person.
