Why Choose AIG for Directors and Officers Liability Insurance?

Helping directors face the future and conduct their business with confidence.

Administrators, managers and directors of any company, regardless of its size or activities, carry significant responsibilities in relation to the way they conduct themselves and justify the trust placed in them. This may result in claims against them for actual and alleged breach of duty, neglect, misstatements, errors and omissions. Actions against the company and its management can involve a high degree of personal liability for the individuals. With potential penalties that range from hefty fines, all the way to disqualification and possible imprisonment, the need for an immediate and effective response to any threat is clear.

The Directos & Officers Liability insurance protects your personal property when you’re held personally liable for the payment of damages. The insurance also covers the civil and criminal defence the costs.
