Introducing Delta Underwriting’s Directors & Officers and Employment Practices Liability Product

In our recently announced partnership with Delta Underwriting, we shared that Cyber, Technology Liability, Professional Indemnity and Directors & Officers Liability insurance are in huge demand amongst SMEs, but access to such products by intermediaries is limited and cumbersome. 

One of the reasons for the partnership was to allow intermediaries quick and easy access to a suite of insurance products, with a similar focus. 

Directors & Officers and Employment Practices Liability product

Intermediaries can now access Delta Underwriting’s Directors & Officers and Employment Practices Liability product via Surer. 

This product provides your clients with cover for costs involved with legal action arising from carrying out your management and fiduciary duties. Directors and Officers are accountable for their actions and can be exposed to serious liability risks. They can be personally liable for their legal obligations and any resulting lawsuits can be time consuming and costly to defend.

Possible legal action can arise from either employees (including wrongful dismissal, harassment, unfair work practices and unsafe work environments) or from third parties (including shareholders, bond holders, creditors, liquidators, competitors or regulators). This comprehensive solution can be tailored to any size of company whether private or publicly listed.
