Liability Insurance for Directors


The Articles of Association of most companies undertake protective measures for company directors in terms of the way the company is managed under their stewardship. The Directors Liability Insurance is the financial backbone to your company’s Articles of Association, by giving your company directors extra support in terms of litigation or other investigations, which could cost the company.

Sayce Insurance Brokers can help by creating bespoke liability insurance for your organisations directors. The importance of the Directors Liability Insurance cannot be over stated. It is predominantly a legal defence insurance policy that allows company directors the freedom, within the rules of law and within the agreed parameters of the company’s own Articles of Association, to manage and direct a company without fear of litigation.

Why do companies usually purchase Directors Liability Insurance? Most FTSE 500 companies will have such insurance protection measures; it helps to safeguard shareholder interests and allows the firm to recruit the very best employers to their board. However, research by the Institute of Directors has found that smaller companies are shying away from Directors Liability Insurance. Here is an example: Tesco which has Directors Liability Insurance, and also profits of £ 3.8Bn in 2012, can afford litigation regardless of the insurance, were as a small company with profits of £400k without Directors Liability Insurance would have to use either money from their profits or other sources to fund litigation. This trend needs to be reversed as companies of all sizes require Directors Liability Insurance to better protect their directors from litigious attacks.
