Directors Insurance Protection : Could my employees sue me for mismanagement claims relating to Corona Virus
As a company director or manager there are a number of responsibilities placed upon you to act with care, in good faith, within the law and in the best interests of the company and employees.
Should someone allege that you have not met any of these responsibilities then a claim may arise against you personally.
Directors and Officers Insurance also known as Management Liability cover is provided in the event a business Director or individual in position of control commits a “Wrongful Act”.
