Webinar: D&O Insurance Issues for Privately Held Middle Market Companies
D&O expert Mike Rossi provides a brief overview of why every private company should buy D&O insurance, and then moves quickly into wording and coverage issues to consider when structuring a D&O insurance program for a privately held middle market company. He covers wording changes to try to negotiate in Primary and Excess policies to improve off-the-shelf coverage. Because most D&O insurers do not negotiate wordings for their private company offerings as readily as they do for their public company offerings, he also suggests program structure strategies to maximally protect the personal assets of a private company’s directors and officers. For example, one such strategy is buying Excess/DIC Side A insurance. Another strategy to use once Excess/DIC Side A is purchased, is adding the Side A Match coverage feature on the Primary and Excess ABC policies. Both strategies are explained in detail.
