Directors and Officers Liability Insurance

In an increasingly litigious world, your company’s officers and board of directors are personally at risk to incur financially crippling lawsuit liability, making it difficult to attract top-tier talent. These vulnerabilities to risk may arise from the very qualities—initiative, vision, and business strategy—for which you hired them.

Invaluable Individual Liability Insurance

Directors’ and Officers’ (D&O) liability insurance provides your executives personal liability and financial loss protection from wrongful acts committed—or allegedly committed—in their capacity as corporate officers.

Directors’ and Officers’ Liablity Insurance Policy Design

Aon’s Financial Services Group (FSG) will help you design and procure a Directors’ and Officers’ liability insurance policy that fits with your business, by identifying your corporate and personal exposures to liability. We then create a program that incorporates risk mitigation recommendations as well as the broadest D&O insurance coverage available.

Directors’ and Officers’ Liability Insurance Fills Your Risk Gaps

Although your company may be legally permitted to cover personal liability costs resulting from an executive’s activities, indemnification may not apply to every situation. In some cases, the financial liability is the sole responsibility of that executive. Directors’ and Officers’ liability insurance fills these gaps, protecting personal assets.

Decades of D&O Liability Insurance Services Development

For nearly 20 years, Aon has championed the progression of Directors’ and Officers’ liability insurance. In fact, Aon professionals first developed many D&O products that are now industry standards. In Canada we place in excess of $250 million in Executive Liability premium each year, with D&O premium representing more than 25% of the total estimated D&O premium placed in Canada.
