The Sovereign advantage
The leaders at your company are held to high standards of accountability. Given their responsibilities and high-profile role within the company, their actions (or lack of action) are in the spotlight and can be put to the test. If their decisions are challenged through wrongful act allegations or a lawsuit, you need coverage in place to protect their personal assets and the financial interests of the company, not to mention the company’s reputation. That’s where our experienced team can help. No matter what industry you’re in, we can provide simple solutions for potentially complicated risks.
Claims-made coverage
We’re renown for our claims service. Our experienced claims team handle your claim efficiently and keep you informed throughout the process. What’s more, our Management Liability contracts are "claims made" (which means that you're covered for claims that occur during your policy term, as long as they are reported as soon as practicable), not "claims made and reported" (which would only cover you for claims that occur and are reported to your insurer during your policy term).
Cost effective
We tailor coverage limits and terms to meet the needs of your business – giving you more of what you need and less of what you don’t. This ensures that not only is your policy cost effective, but that you’re getting great value.
Modular
The modular policy structure allows for choice of coverage under one comprehensive form. Four core insurance modules include: Directors & Officers Liability (D&O); Employment Practices Liability (EPL), including Third Party Coverage; Fiduciary Liability; and Crime.

KEY COVERAGES
Negligence

Mistakes aren’t always avoidable, but it’s your company’s responsibility to take reasonable care to prevent them from happening. However, if you don’t act in a reasonably prudent manner and a situation goes sideways, Negligence can provide coverage for negligent or unintentional acts of corporate directors or officers if they’re faced with allegations of a financial loss arising from mismanagement.
A director or officer can be sued for negligence in the performance of his/her duties, such as failing to file annual reports, failing to supervise, regular absence from meetings, failing to inspect the company’s books and records, etc.
