Management Liability

Protecting Your Business and the People Who Run It

Running a business involves making important decisions every day. While directors, officers and senior managers act in the best interests of their organisation, they can still face claims alleging wrongful acts, employment disputes or regulatory investigations.

Management Liability Insurance is designed to protect both your business and the individuals responsible for managing it, helping to cover legal defence costs, compensation awards and other insured expenses that could otherwise have a significant financial impact.

Whether you're a limited company, charity, Residents' Management Company (RMC), Right to Manage (RTM) company or not-for-profit organisation, we can help you arrange cover that suits your needs.

What Does Management Liability Insurance Cover?

Management Liability Insurance is typically made up of three key areas of protection:

• Directors' & Officers' Liability (D&O)
• Corporate Liability
• Employment Practices Liability

These covers work together to protect both the organisation and those responsible for its management.

Directors' & Officers' Liability (D&O)

Directors and officers can be held personally liable for decisions they make while carrying out their duties.

Directors' & Officers' Liability Insurance helps protect individuals against claims alleging wrongful acts, including:

• Breach of duty
• Negligence
• Mismanagement
• Errors or omissions
• Breach of trust
• Regulatory investigations (where insured)

The policy can help cover legal defence costs, settlements and damages, protecting the personal assets of directors, officers and committee members.

This cover is particularly important for company directors, charity trustees, committee members and volunteer directors serving on Residents' Management Companies and similar organisations.

Corporate Liability

Not every claim is made against an individual. Increasingly, businesses themselves can face legal action or regulatory investigations.

Corporate Liability Insurance helps protect the organisation where claims are brought directly against the company. Depending on the policy, this can include defence costs and compensation arising from certain civil or regulatory proceedings.

This cover helps protect the financial stability of the business while allowing management to focus on running the organisation.

Employment Practices Liability (EPL)

Employment disputes can arise regardless of the size of your organisation.

Employment Practices Liability Insurance helps protect your business against claims made by current, former or prospective employees relating to matters such as:

• Unfair dismissal
• Discrimination
• Harassment
• Bullying
• Wrongful dismissal
• Failure to promote
• Breach of employment rights

Defending employment-related claims can be expensive even where no wrongdoing has occurred. Employment Practices Liability helps cover legal defence costs and insured awards, providing valuable financial protection.

Who Should Consider Management Liability Insurance?

Management Liability Insurance is suitable for many types of organisations, including:

• Limited companies
• Small and medium-sized businesses
• Charities and not-for-profit organisations
• Residents' Management Companies (RMCs)
• Right to Manage (RTM) companies
• Property management companies
• Professional firms
• Sports clubs and community organisations

If your organisation has directors, officers, committee members or employees, Management Liability Insurance is worth considering.
