The management liability insurance covers various exposures, including employment disputes, investigations by official bodies, tax audits, financial crimes, statutory liabilities, allegations of legal breaches, entity and employment practices liabilities, investigation costs, and comprehensive crime coverage.
With premiums starting at $780 per year for a $1 million coverage limit, the product is accessible to a wide range of businesses. Coverage limits extend up to $10 million, catering to the diverse needs of SMEs and sole traders across different industries.
