Directors’ & Officers’ Liability
ABD specializes in reducing the liability risks your directors and officers face,
including claims from shareholders, employees and government agencies—even patent
infringement claims. Our
comprehensive approach focuses on three key areas: risk control, brokering and D&O claims management.
Risk Control
Step One: We thoroughly review your operations and management practices to develop
your corporate risk profile, identifying potential areas of D&O exposure.
Step Two: We personally counsel you or enlist outside counsel on cost-effective ways to
reduce or eliminate these exposures. For example, our relationships with key legal defense
firms provide a broad network of information on the latest trends and strategies in
D&O-related litigation. We use this information to improve your risk profile.
Brokering
Step Three: Our access to worldwide D&O markets and our reputation as a leader
in D&O insurance gives us the strength and leverage to negotiate the broadest, most
cost-effective policy terms available in the marketplace.
Step Four: Using decision tools we developed, we quantify risk and provide you with a
detailed analysis of every available option to manage your exposures, including
non-traditional risk financing approaches.
We also review and evaluate a wide range of independent D&O surveys and claim
studies. Then, we cross-reference these reports with our own proprietary analysis and our
extensive D&O experience to help you make the best possible risk management and
coverage decisions.
This same experience helps us spot vulnerabilities in contracts, allowing ABD to
negotiate enhanced terms and conditions to minimize D&O coverage gaps.
Managing Claims
Step Five: When a claim does occur, we work closely with you and counsel to
facilitate a resolution that best positions you for ongoing coverage protection with
reasonable renewal terms.
