Preamble

This content is independent of any content coming from insurance brokers, insurers, law firms, or any insurance lobbyists. Commercial insurance is rarely taught in schools, and when it is, it’s mostly done through the lens of brokers or insurers. There are many misconceptions around Management Liability, like many other topics in commercial insurance, due to bad habits acquired through the over reliance on insurance brokers or insurers or information providers who are lobbied by them. It is also important to note that insurance has both an operational aspect and a legal aspect, on which we put weights of 95% and 5% respectively in terms of importance to protecting a business and its investors (the point is that going to court to enforce coverage defeats the purpose of buying insurance, so you want to make sure that whatever insurance you buy protects your business right, based on operational data, and pays out fast on large losses).

What is Management Liability

Management Liability is the Liability Risk that Management of an organization faces and which can arise from different sources and be caused by different loss scenarios. Management Liability can be insured through Management Liability Insurance, also known as Directors’ and Officers’ (D&O) Liability Insurance. It is important to note that Management Liability can be a product of frivolous action against Management. Nevertheless, frivolous actions entail investigative and defence costs that are incurred, which translates into a financial loss and hence a form of Management Liability.

Management Liability Cover

Also known as D&O Liability Insurance, the insurance provides protection to Management in case their organization does not indemnify them for a Management Liability loss. The insurance can also reimburse the insured organization for any indemnifications provided to Management in the event of a Management Liability loss. In addition, the insurance can also protect the organization itself in case it is subject to liability as a legal entity as a result of a Management Act, the latter being a defined term within the Management Liability Cover. Management or Insured Person should also be a defined term and the definitions are different from one insurance policy to another. Many insurance policies include employees who are not managers within the scope of the definitions. As such, Management Liability Cover can technically protect all employees of an organization as well as the organization itself in the event of liability caused by a Management Act.

Note that Management Liability Cover is different from one insurer to another, and it is important to reword any policy independently of any broker or insurer in order to effectively cover the risks that are relevant to Management as well as boost the payout ratio of the insurance, all while reducing net cost.
