BUSINESS INSURANCE • BURNLEY & BEYOND

Management Liability Insurance.
Business decisions.
Personal responsibilities.

Running a company brings responsibilities to employees, shareholders and other parties. Management liability insurance can address selected claims connected with management decisions. Talk to us about the organisation and the people whose roles need to be considered.

Look beyond day-to-day trading risks.

A claim about running the company is different from a claim about a product or a professional service. Explain your ownership structure, directors, employee numbers and any planned changes. Our Burnley team can discuss the sections available and who they are intended to protect.

Cover options to discuss

Directors and officers

Discuss allegations of wrongful acts connected with a director’s or officer’s role. Who qualifies as an insured person and how defence costs are treated need to be checked.

Company legal liability

Ask whether cover for the organisation itself is available and which allegations it addresses. It should not be assumed to duplicate the protection for individual directors.

Employment practices

Raise the potential for covered employment-related allegations and the support available. This is a different discussion from employers’ liability for injury or illness.

Growing the team or changing ownership?

A restructure, acquisition or significant change in staff numbers is a useful point to review the policy. Explain the proposed change and any known issues before it happens. Keep the insurer informed in line with the policy’s requirements.

Prepare for your quote

  • Company structure, ownership and the entities to be considered.
  • Directors, financial information and employee numbers.
  • Planned acquisitions, restructuring or changes in management.
  • Known disputes, investigations, claims and existing insurance.

Your questions, answered

Is this the same as professional indemnity?

No. Professional indemnity concerns insured professional services; management liability focuses on specified management exposures. A business may need to discuss both.

Does limited liability remove the need to consider cover?

The company’s structure does not answer every question about directors’ or officers’ exposure. Describe the roles and responsibilities involved so suitable options can be discussed.

Are all fines, disputes and legal costs covered?

No. Cover is subject to the selected sections, exclusions and applicable law. Ask about the particular concern rather than assuming every proceeding or penalty is insured.
