Directors & Officers Insurance in Utah

Directors & Officers (D&O) insurance is a form of management liability coverage that protects the individuals who lead an organization, its directors, officers, and board members, when they are personally named in a claim over a decision they made on the company's behalf. It responds to allegations of mismanagement, negligent oversight, breach of fiduciary duty, misrepresentation, or other wrongful acts in their leadership roles, paying for legal defense, settlements, and covered judgments. Without it, a director's or officer's personal assets can be exposed.

D&O is important for any Utah organization with a board, investors, or outside stakeholders, including startups raising capital in the Silicon Slopes corridor, privately held companies, and growing businesses with a board of directors. It's equally critical for nonprofits: volunteer board members of charities, associations, and foundations can be sued over employment decisions, mismanagement of funds, or governance disputes, and many board members will not serve without D&O protection in place.

Claims can come from a wide range of sources, investors and shareholders, employees, creditors, competitors, regulators, donors, or members. Even a meritless suit can cost tens of thousands of dollars to defend, which is more than most small companies and nonprofits can absorb. We place D&O and broader management liability coverage with respected carriers including Hiscox, The Hartford, CNA, and Travelers to match your organization's size, structure, and risk profile.

As an independent, tech-forward Utah brokerage, we shop your D&O across multiple carriers rather than quoting a single option, so your board gets appropriate limits and a fair price. Many organizations can be quoted and bound quickly, often within days.
