Directors & Officers liability

We are results-orientated, rather than process driven, to assist our clients arrive at the end point sooner.

Australia's directors and officers (D&Os) face a heightened risk of liability, confronted with new risks of cyber threats, ESG, artificial intelligence (AI) and sustainable finance, in an increasingly complex regulatory environment.

Our team represents companies and individual D&Os from a diverse range of industries in:

• regulatory investigations/enforcement actions
• liquidator examinations
• civil claims including multi-party disputes/class actions, and
• advising primary and excess insurers on notifications, coverage and monitoring of those claims.

Our in-depth understanding of directors’ obligations and emerging risks enables us to deliver practical training and advice to boards on D&O duties, liabilities and other financial regulatory issues. With our dual expertise in dispute resolution for D&Os and as trusted advisors to the insurance market, we offer practical and commercial advice on insurance wordings, the procurement of D&O policies, claims handling obligations, claims reserving, and management of all stakeholder interests in resolving disputes.
