Directors & Officers Liability

In an increasingly litigious world, the McCabes team advises directors and officers, insurers, brokers and underwriters on legal and compliance in accordance with corporate governance, legislative and regulatory requirements. We also review directors and officers insurance policies, advising on renewals and drafting clauses and endorsements specific to our client’s needs.

We regularly represent directors of proprietary companies, public companies, cooperatives and incorporated associations and unincorporated entities, such as sole traders, partnerships, some joint ventures and trusts.

Our team’s focus is to avoid litigation and pursue remedies where possible through alternative dispute resolution given the complexity and sensitivity of many directors and officers claims.
