Leadership & capital

Directors & officers insurance

Directors and officers insurance can address allegations of wrongful management acts. We help startups compare protection for their leaders and company in light of their ownership and funding arrangements.

We revisit D&O when ownership changes.

We examine who the proposed policy insures and which company claims it includes. For a funding round or board change, we also check change-of-control conditions and how defense costs affect the limit available.

What we check in the proposal

  • Who qualifies as an insured person or entity?
  • Which claims against the company are included or excluded?
  • How do defense costs affect the available limit?
  • What notice is required when ownership or control changes?

A software-business example

An investor disputes statements made during a financing. Whether a D&O policy responds depends on its insured definitions, exclusions, timing, and the circumstances of the allegation.

We explain how the proposed terms apply to your software and flag any open questions before you decide.
