Corporate governance reforms across the world in recent years have added significantly to the responsibilities of directors of companies. The legal landscape senior corporate individuals must navigate is therefore fraught - ensuring that they stay compliant with complex regulation is increasingly challenging.

They understandably look for robust insurance cover to protect them in the execution of their responsibilities, and we have designed a package of insurance to give directors and officers confidence that they have comprehensive protection against claims arising from their actions taken in corporate roles, supported by a range of additional services.

Our Management Liability insurance is available on our myBeazley platform, which provides brokers with the ability to quote, buy and service a range of specialist insurance products for their clients at the touch of a button.
