MANAGEMENT LIABILITY INSURANCE
What is Management Liability insurance?
Management Liability insurance is designed to protect the company directors and officers, and the company itself, against the many risks they face on a daily basis. We often refer it to as the third pillar of liability, as it extends cover to those areas, e.g. Workcover, not insured under your Public & Products Liability & Professional Indemnity.
