Accounting scandals and corporate governance shortfalls have led to new laws across Europe requiring greater transparency and heightened shareholder protections. At the same time, legal systems have been reformed to give shareholders unprecedented access to the courts. Such developments expose directors to greater liability, and lawsuits naming companies and their directors have consequently increased throughout Europe. Some recent suits have been settled for hundreds of millions of Pounds.
With more and more suits being brought, underwriters clearly need to be concerned about their exposure to claims, but the threat of regulatory investigations and shareholder suits is also creating unprecedented demand for D&O insurance. Significant growth in D&O premium volumes is now expected in the coming years, driven by both rate increases and new companies seeking to purchase D&O insurance.
