Your management liability coverage can be customized to meet the needs of your company. You can purchase the following types of coverage:

Corporate Liability – protects your business from accusations that it committed wrongdoing (as opposed to claims brought against the directors or officers).

Employment Practices Liability – which protects an organization against lawsuits brought by workers regarding their working conditions or violations of labor regulations. Claims of discrimination or unjust dismissal may fall under this category.
