Your Guide to Private Company D&O Insurance, 2021

Do private companies need Directors & Officers (D&O) liability insurance? It is definitely a popular purchase for fast growing companies that are considering going public, being acquired, or are in highly regulated industries.

In addition to being part of an overall risk management strategy, D&O insurance can help attract and retain top talent in your organization. Indeed, some sought-after potential directors and officers might be reluctant to join a company without D&O insurance given the difficult litigation environment in the United States and elsewhere.
