In today’s complex business environment, companies face a multitude of financial and legal risks. Financial Lines Insurance is designed to protect businesses, their leadership and employees from potential liabilities that could result in costly legal battles or financial losses. This specialised form of insurance covers a variety of exposures, ensuring companies can operate with confidence and security.
Types of Financial Lines insurance cover:
Directors & Officers (D&O) Insurance
D&O insurance provides financial protection for company directors and senior executives against claims alleging wrongful acts in their managerial roles. This can include mismanagement, breaches of fiduciary duties, and regulatory non-compliance. Without D&O insurance, personal assets of directors could be at risk in lawsuits brought by shareholders, employees, or regulators.
Errors & Omissions (E&O) Insurance
Also known as Professional Indemnity Insurance, E&O coverage safeguards businesses and professionals against claims arising from negligence, errors or inadequate work. This is particularly vital for lawyers, accountants, financial institutions and other service-based professionals, who may face legal action from disgruntled clients.Cyber Insurance
With the rise of cyber threats, Cyber Insurance is now essential for businesses of all sizes. It protects against losses due to data breaches, ransomware attacks and cyber fraud. Coverage often includes the cost of customer notifications, data recovery, legal fees and even regulatory fines. Utilising solutions such as PIB’s CyberPrepare can highlight weaknesses allowing steps to be taken to strengthen security systems to reduce the impact of a cyber attack.
Employment Practices Liability Insurance (EPLI)
EPLI shields businesses from claims related to workplace issues, such as wrongful termination, discrimination, harassment and breach of employment contracts. As employee-related claims continue to rise, EPLI helps businesses manage the legal costs and potential settlements involved in such disputes.
Fiduciary Liability Insurance
Businesses that manage employee benefit plans have a fiduciary responsibility to act in the best interest of their employees. Fiduciary Liability Insurance covers legal claims alleging mismanagement of these plans, protecting businesses from costly lawsuits and financial penalties.
