Management Liability Insurance for Associations and Not-For-Profits

Liability Insurance protects the individuals and the company / entity (i.e. Company, Association or Non-for-Profit) in relation to the exposures associated with managing a company / entity (i.e. your liability for mismanagement).  Without adequate protection you could risk losing, not only the company / entity, but also your personal assets. This insurance protects you personally and therefore your wealth and lifestyle.  The legal costs to defend allegations of wrongful acts alone can be financially crippling for companies / entities and individuals.

Many Associations and Non-For-Profits are exposed in this area as often Insurance Brokers do not properly understand Management (Association and Non-For-Profit) Insurance and therefore do not properly outline the risks and craft the policies to suit. In addition, many Associations and Non-For-Profits are not aware of how much personal exposure the CEO, staff, board, committee members, technical committees and volunteers can be liable for.


Do you know?

  • The potential for the severity of loss grows as revenue and stature in the company / entity increases. The bigger the company / entity, the bigger the claims tend to be.

  • As the regulatory environment changes, directors are often unaware of their full responsibilities at law.
  • Directors and Board are responsible for the risk management of their company. ASIC has been on the front foot, putting directors and boards on notice.
