MLP provides financial protection to directors, officers, and other executives in the event of claims arising from their professional activities.
These claims can arise from a wide range of issues, including negligence, breach of fiduciary duties, and regulatory violations.
For regulated professions, the stakes are especially high. Not only can claims against individuals result in significant financial losses, but they can also damage the reputation of the profession and lead to disciplinary action. Management liability insurance can help to mitigate these risks and protect the personal assets of professionals.
