Running a business is hard and comes with risk. No one knows this better than the leadership group and board, which is why non-profits, private companies and publicly traded companies should consider Directors & Officers Insurance. From allegations of breach of duty to discriminatory hiring and/or firing practices Directors & Officers Insurance often called D&O can critical to protecting the financial stability of your organization.
Running a business involves making difficult choices, and no one understands the risks better than directors, officers, and board members. Directors & Officers (D&O) liability insurance protects the personal assets of your company’s leaders if they are sued for decisions made in their roles. Non-profits, private companies, and publicly traded organizations all face risks that make D&O coverage an essential safeguard.
This coverage protects against claims such as breach of fiduciary duty, mismanagement, or discrimination. It pays for defense costs, settlements, and judgments arising from lawsuits against directors and officers for alleged wrongful acts in managing the company. In practical terms, if a board member or executive is sued for example, for a decision that resulted in financial loss or a dispute with a shareholder the D&O policy covers legal defense and any settlement or award. It ensures that leaders can make decisions with confidence, without fear of personal financial ruin.
Company leaders can be held personally liable for decisions made in their roles. D&O insurance protects their personal assets, giving them confidence to lead without risking financial loss. This protection is also important for attracting and retaining strong leadership.
A lawsuit against management can create significant expenses. With D&O coverage, legal costs and settlements are absorbed by the policy, preserving the company’s financial health during legal challenges.
It is a common misconception that only large corporations need D&O insurance. In reality, private companies and non-profits are also exposed to lawsuits brought by donors, regulators, vendors, or other stakeholders. This coverage ensures that one claim does not derail operations.
D&O insurance gives leaders the reassurance to make bold and strategic decisions, knowing they are protected. This confidence supports better governance and long-term success.
