What is Management Liability Insurance?

Management Liability insurance is an insurance policy designed to protect the individual directors/officers/managers of a business from being personally sued in connection with a business related matter.

The insurance can also be extended to cover all employment related disputes, tribunals and corporate investigations.

Ask a Question What does Management Liability Insurance cover?

Management Liability insurance is NOT a benefit in kind, even though the company pays for it.

It is primarily there to protect the individual directors and senior staff from being personally sued.

The employment protection benefit is a massive asset to the business too, as with changing rules and legislation, it is possible to accidentally end up on the wrong side of the law.

Ask a Question How much does Management Liability insurance cost?

Questions we frequently get asked about Management Liability insurance

Do I need this if I already have liability insurance for my business?

We’re sometimes asked whether Management Liability insurance is necessary, especially by those who already have liability insurance.

Whilst general liability insurance will protect your business, it will NOT protect an individual named person from being personally sued.

Who can sue me if I’m a director of a Limited Company?

The list of organisations who have the power to sue you as a named person rather than suing the business itself is growing all the time. It now includes employees, creditors, shareholders, the Government, auditors, customers and suppliers.

At Prizm Solutions, we’ve had clients who have been personally sued, but thankfully they had Management Liability insurance cover and managed to successfully claim on their policy.

On what grounds can someone be personally liable rather than the business being sued?
  • Negligent advice or misstatement
  • Failure to disclose business interests
  • Poor business decisions
  • Acting outside of the company constitution
  • Health & safety legislation
  • Discrimination
  • Mergers & acquisitions
  • Insolvency
If I didn’t have Management Liability insurance, how much could I personally be sued for?

We’re occasionally asked this question, as people believe the value of the shares in their business will limit their liability. However, shares are different. Whilst a shareholder’s liability is limited to the value of his/hers shares, a director of a company, by law, has unlimited liability for his/her actions.
