Director’s and Officer’s Insurance
Director’s and Officer’s Insurance protects the company and its executives from certain claims made against them. The types of claims that are covered involve an individual’s actions and decisions (or failures to act/decide) in his or her capacity as a leader of the company. This can include:
- Allegations of breach of fiduciary duty
- Mismanagement of shareholder voting procedures
- Unfair trade practices
- Misrepresentation
- Securities violations in connection with private placements
- Failure to comply with regulations and laws
Coverage can also be expanded to offer additional limits to protect executives when the company is insolvent and can’t provide indemnification. These additional limits can be vital, since companies that are in financial distress, are much more likely to be named in a D&O suit. The coverage enhancement ensures that, even if the resources are dry and the policy has been exhausted, there will be a safety net available to protect individuals who are still the target of a suit but can’t be protected by the company.
Other enhancements include coverage for the cost of investigating a demand claim (when your shareholders act on behalf of the company and sue you) or the legal defense cost of a delusion suit from a former executive. Fraud is a frequent allegation made as a part of commercial lawsuits.
Problematically, fraudulent acts are not covered by insurance. But here is the key, get the right D&O policy and the carrier will pay to defend you against that allegation until it is proven true. Assuming the fraud claim is unfounded, a well-written D&O policy will pay to get that part of the suit dissolved.
Bond Insurance
Bond insurance is a type of policy that a bond issuer purchases that guarantees the repayment of the principal and all associated interest payments to the bondholders in the event of default. The commercial surety market includes numerous types of bonds such as:
- Court judicial
- Court fiduciary
- Public official
- License and permits
- Contract bonds
- Fidelity bonds

- Performance

- And more!
