Trustees and Officers Liability Coverage

Trends in the worlds of business and education mean that institutions are operating in a new legal climate.

Our ELL policy includes trustees and officers liability coverage, also known as directors and officers coverage (D&O), and was created with these risks in mind. Trustees and officers coverage also can be written as a standalone policy.
