Directors & Officers Liability (D&O)
D&O liability insurance protects the personal assets of corporate directors and officers in the event they are personally sued by the organization’s employees, vendors, competitors, investors, customers, or other parties, for actual or alleged wrongful acts in managing the company.
D&O insurance is an important aspect of a corporate risk management strategy and can cover defense costs, settlements, and other costs associated with wrongful act allegations and lawsuits.
D&O insurance helps cover claims of:
- Misuses of company funds
- Misrepresentations of company assets
- Breach of fiduciary duty
- Failure to comply with workplace laws
- Lack of corporate governance
A company pays for this coverage so executives can serve confidently as leaders of their organization without fear of personal financial loss.
Errors & Omissions (E&O)
This specialized liability insurance protects you and your business from claims if a client sues for negligent acts, errors or omissions committed during business activities that result in a financial loss.
This coverage, also known as professional liability insurance, can be customized to the unique risks faced by an assortment of professionals – no matter the industry. Your business’ financial security can depend on how well protected you are from a lawsuit or claim.
E&O insurance helps cover claims of:
- Mistakes or negligence
- Copyright infringement
- Misrepresentation
- Inaccurate advice
If your client believes you made a mistake, they can still sue your business – even if you didn’t do anything wrong. Without E&O coverage, you will have to pay for expensive legal defense costs out of pocket.
Employment Practices Liability (EPL)
EPL offers broad protection should a business be sued by an employee over wrongful termination, sexual harassment, or another violation of employee rights.
This coverage protects your business if you improperly manage employee benefits, including health insurance, paid time off, and sick leave.

EPL protect employers from claims made by employees alleging:
- Discrimination (based on sex, race, age, or disability)
- Harassment
- Retaliation
- Violation of the Family and Medical Leave Act
- Wrongful discipline or demotion
- Wrongful failure to promote or wrongful termination
- Breach of employment contract
- Privacy invasion
