D&O Insurance

Today, board members, managing directors and supervisory board members must ensure that their actions comply with a multitude of constantly changing rules. Failure to do so can result in significant personal liability risks for company directors. D&O insurance (Directors & Officers insurance) provides partial cover against such liability risks.

A core area of our practice is the defence against liability claims against company directors/insured persons. We have a team of lawyers who have specialised for many years in the judicial and extrajudicial defence against directors’ and officers’ liability claims and have handled several hundred cases in this context. We have been and continue to be involved in numerous significant claims.

We also represent insurance companies in the monitoring of directors’ and officers’ liability cases. We analyse the facts of the case, support the work of the defence lawyers and advise insurers on matters of liability and insurance law. We are therefore familiar with the difficulties that arise at the interface between liability law and D&O insurance terms and conditions.

Our lawyers know that the analysis of extensive documentation can be decisive for the outcome of a D&O lawsuit. We therefore collaborate with specialist service providers – including those with a business management perspective – to gather information. With our team, we are able to handle cases of any type and size. 

Our main areas of practice:

Judicial and extrajudicial representation of defendants
