D&O
Protect executives from legal claims due to their decisions, covering personal costs.
At SABSEG, we have decades of experience advising our clients on how to protect their assets when they hold positions of responsibility in companies.
The Ley de Sociedades de Capital (Capital Companies Act) establishes that administrators and executives are jointly liable for damages to third parties resulting from acts or omissions arising from a lack of diligence in the performance of their business duties. This means that administrators and executives may be liable with their own assets for such claims.
In recent years, claims against administrators, directors, and senior executives have increased significantly worldwide, arising from a wide variety of situations. Among these are:
Claims from shareholders for negligence or errors in strategic decisions, such as non-compliance with tax or bankruptcy regulations, failure to adhere to internal policies, or allegations of embezzlement.
Violations related to confidentiality and data protection.
Non-compliance with occupational health and safety protocols, which can result in sanctions from Seguridad Social and/or claims from workers.
Coverages
With a deep understanding of the specific characteristics and needs of each client, we ensure that we offer the appropriate coverage for each sector, geographical location, and time horizon, regardless of the size of the company. The main coverages are:
