Management Liability Insurance for ACEC BIT
An increasingly litigious society means directors, officers and other members of management are facing more risks than ever before. Even the best-managed businesses can face liability lawsuits, costing them millions to defend.
Management liability insurance combines the strength of several essential coverages into an all-in-one package that includes:
Directors & Officers Liability Insurance
Directors and officers face difficult decisions every day. The right decisions can boost your business to new heights while others can open the door to lawsuits by employees, shareholders or anyone else with an interest in the business.
Defending these claims can cost thousands or more and jeopardize the reputation you’ve worked so hard to build.
Directors and officers liability insurance protects the directors and officers of your business from loss arising from actions connected to their positions. Typical claims may relate to:
- Allegations of mismanagement
- Breach of fiduciary duty or loyalty
- Release of non-public information
- Conflicts of interest
Employment Practices Liability Insurance (EPLI)
Your employees can be one of your greatest assets. Unfortunately, they can also be one of your greatest risks—especially in an age when employment-related claims and lawsuits are on the rise.
Employment practices liability insurance can help. The coverage is designed to protect your business from claims and lawsuits whether frivolous or not alleging:
- Sexual harassment
- Discrimination
- Wrongful termination or discipline
- Failure to hire or promote
- Defamation
- Retaliation
Fiduciary Liability Insurance
Offering top-notch employee benefits can give your business an edge when it comes to attracting and retaining quality employees. But did you know anyone who manages these plans on behalf of your employees can be held personally responsible if they fail to meet the Employee Retirement Income Security Act’s (ERISA) standards and legal guidelines? Examples include:
- Making misleading statements regarding investment options
- Failing to educate participants about risks involved with investments
- Failure to monitor fees and performance of outsourced plans
- Discrimination in converting plans
- Mismanagement as a result of merger or acquisition
- Miscalculation of benefits in early retirement offerings
Fiduciary liability insurance protects individuals or entities for claims that allege they’ve violated their responsibilities under ERISA.
Crime Insurance
Running your business successfully means safeguarding it against a variety of risks. This includes being prepared if your employees help themselves to your inventory or a thief robs you of your cash or property.
