Liability Insurance for Directors and Officers

Recent scandals have heightened the importance of—and need for—clear and effective liability insurance for directors and officers. We have worked with numerous large- and medium-sized financial institutions and companies across all industry sectors to provide timely, knowledgeable assistance in the formulation and implementation of appropriate directors and officers (D&O) insurance coverage. We also have advised key personnel concerning the obligations and risks associated with serving as a director or officer, including fiduciary responsibilities, disclosure issues, and cyber risks and mitigation strategies. Our attorneys have significant D&O insurance experience and the credibility, depth and business sense to work toward effective solutions for almost any D&O need.
