As a result of the financial crisis, new legislation - including the UK Bribery Act 2010 - and increasing regulator scrutiny, activity in the D&O market has intensified. These factors, together with rising insolvencies and corporate defaults, require board members to ensure that they are fully protected against potential claims.
It is anticipated that both the frequency and severity of D&O insurance claims will continue to rise, and this will promote an increasing demand for cover.
