Management Liability Insurance

There are a multitude of risks facing small businesses in Australia today, which is where a Management Liability policy can act as a safety net for your company. New legislation is always on the horizon; workplace accidents are now subject to high statutory scrutiny, employment disputes can be expensive affairs, whilst employee theft and commercial disputes are on the rise.

A Management Liability Insurance policy focuses on the act of running a company. It will address the serious exposures and risks confronting private companies and their management teams.
