How a director can be personally sued under the Companies Act and why D&O is so essential for all directors
>> Event Overview
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 will explore the sources of potential claims against directors and how to put the right cover in place.
>> Learning Objectives
By the end of this event delegates will:
- 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.
