About the session:
The Companies Act 2006 puts very clear and very onerous duties on directors, and this presentation explores this act, and how a D&O policy can respond to this liability. For broking staff advising on D&O, gaining a full understanding of directors personal duties under the Companies Act will enable them to more clearly identify why no director can afford to be without D&O cover.
Ironically, if a director refuses D&O without consulting their fellow directors, they have massively increased their own personal D&O exposure, due to the Companies Act.
Alan Chandler, one of the most popular presenters in the UK, will explore the sources of potential claims against directors and how to put the right cover in place.
Learning objectives:
Following this presentation the delegates will be able to:
- Understand the history behind why the government passed legislation on directors’ duties.
- Understand how the Companies Act has made it far easier for a director to be sued personally.
- Understand how a D&O policy can deal with the directors’ personal exposure to lawsuits.
