𝑶𝒖𝒕𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝑬𝒗𝒆𝒏𝒕: At a time when regulators and investigatory authorities are focusing unprecedented attention on personal accountability for company directors and the business world is constantly changing.

Corporate scandals, increased shareholder awareness and extended rules on corporate governance have made being a company director in the 21st Century an increasingly difficult task. Directors have always been bound by many duties arising under jurisdictional laws. The difference in today’s world is that stakeholders have far greater forms of remedy against directors and there is an increased willingness to pursue claims against them. Whether or not the director is ultimately held liable for such claims, the defense costs associated can be extremely expensive, and the process can take up months or even years of a director’s valuable time. In practice, once a claim is alleged against a director for any wrongdoing, they can seek assistance from D&O policy.
