Directors and Officers

Changes in legislation together with the more aggressive attitudes of shareholders, suppliers and clients mean that directors have never faced so much risk. Bircroft works with companies to map these risks and then negotiate the cover required so that the directors can operate effectively, secure in the knowledge that they are protected.

Directors discharge their duties in a “best intentions” environment, where one slip can create liability that impacts them both professionally and personally. Our expertise in these matters means that our clients don’t have to worry about this – today and tomorrow as many issues may only come to light in the future or take years to resolve.

Even if your company has excellent processes and solid corporate governance, directors still need protection against claims relating to:

• Wrongful act, error or omission
• Misstatement
• Neglect
• Breach of duty
