Directors’ and officers’ liability insurance was at one time considered essential only for large public corporations. Now, no public limited company anywhere in the world should be without it. Large private companies, charities, financial institutions, pension funds and all executive directors need to consider the risks. It is a widely held isconception that legal action cannot be taken against individual directors of limited liability companies. Directors’ and officers’ liability insurance is one of the fastest growing areas in the world insurance market. Company directors are facing increasingly onerous resonsibilities as shareholders demand higher standards of corporate governence. Recent years have seen more stringent laws on environmental liability and directorial responsibility for pollution is now a global concern. This new edition will answer the questions: Just what are the personal liability risks facing directors? How can they protect themselves against the increasing possibility of being sued? What are the latest developments? Ian Youngman cuts through the jargon and explains the intricacies of this kind of cover and how it relates to other forms of insurance. He includes examples of claims, as well as profiles of insurers specialising in this area. He also assesses the current and likely future status of D & O cover in all the world markets.

In recent years several cases concerning the liability of directors and officers have courted controversy. Arguments raised in such discussions oscillate between two extremes: on the one hand, the need for governing bodies to give a space to entrepreneurial discretion and on the other hand to ensure the protection of investors in and creditors of a company from the consequences of disadvantageous decisions by those bodies. In light of the geographical dispersal of the above stakeholders, the study offers a comparative insight into the liability of directors and officers in 10 key European jurisdictions (in particular, Austria, Czech Republic, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Spain and Switzerland) and 4 non-European jurisdictions (namely Brazil, Israel, Turkey and the United States). Amongst other things it investigates existing company law principles on the topic and examines their interaction with tort law and other fields with a view to suggesting principles for better stakeholder protection. National reports are complemented by an economic analysis and insurance, conflict of laws and comparative reports. The study also benefits from case study analyses.

Directors and supervisory board members (officers) are increasingly being held personally liable. Directors & Officers (D&O) liability insurance offers directors and supervisory board members ample protection against directors' and officers' liability. On the one hand, this has many advantages for the directors and supervisory board members, the company and other concerned parties. It implies, for instance, that it is easier for a company to attract good directors. With a D&O insurance policy, there are also improved means of recovery for parties that have been injured, which also positively affects the compensatory and preventive functions of liability law. On the other hand, due to the presence of D&O insurance, there are fewer financial incentives vis-à-vis directors and officers to act with due care - the moral hazard. As a result, the preventive function of liability law is, in principle, undermined, or at least negatively affected, by the D&O insurance. D&O insurers can, however, take various measures in an attempt to mitigate the moral hazard. For potential injured parties, the company, the insurer and society, those measures are of tremendous importance for ensuring the risk of damage/loss remains as low as possible. Field research shows, however, that the moral hazard is being insufficiently addressed by D&O insurers in the Netherlands. There are restrictions to the instruments that the Dutch D&O insurers are currently using to reduce the moral hazard. What is more, not all possible instruments are being used. This most likely also holds true for D&O insurers in other European countries and in the United States (in light of the research of Baker & Griffith 2010). It is, however, necessary to ensure that the moral hazard is optimally addressed and that the incentives for careful acts of management from liability law continue to be retained as much as possible. That is why it is desirable for D&O insurers to start implementing a retention for the Side A coverage for (the liability of) directors and officers.

Shareholder litigation and class action suits play a key role in protecting investors and regulating big businesses. But Directors and Officers liability insurance shields corporations and their managers from the financial consequences of many illegal acts, as evidenced by the recent Enron scandal and many of last year’s corporate financial meltdowns. Ensuring Corporate Misconduct demonstrates for the first time how corporations use insurance to avoid responsibility for corporate misconduct, dangerously undermining the impact of securities laws. As Tom Baker and Sean J. Griffith demonstrate, this need not be the case. Opening up the formerly closed world of corporate insurance, the authors interviewed people from every part of the industry in order to show the different instances where insurance companies could step in and play a constructive role in strengthening corporate governance—yet currently do not. Ensuring Corporate Misconduct concludes with a set of readily implementable reforms that could significantly rehabilitate the system.
