Insurance Companies
It’s essential to protect the company assets and management team from diverse and costly litigation brought by shareholders, customers, regulators and other parties that have a stake in the organization.
The potential for a company and its board to be sued grows as more and more people turn to litigation to resolve disputes. Claims range from alleged failure of the board to properly evaluate a merger or sale of the company to alleging breach of an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, failure to settle a claim or perform professional services to third parties.
Insurance company professional services are quite varied and include the rendering of the insured's claims handling and adjusting, risk management, safety engineering, safety inspection and loss control operations, personal injury rehabilitation operations, salvage operations, recovery subrogation services, premium financing operations, insurance consulting, or actuarial consulting services.
In response to the complexity of exposures in this industry, insurance products have been designed to provide management and professional liability protection for insurance companies of all types.
