Directors and Officers (D&O)

A strategic decision, a lack of compliance with a specific legislation, an unfair internal legislation policy, the mere approval of the annual accounts, are situations that can pose a risk for a company administrator, manager or director. They can find themselves in the position of having to deal with claims against them that endanger their personal assets or even the viability of the company they run.
