Limited companies across the UK are being urged to consider the legal implications that directors and officers have should anything go wrong.

With the current society leaning towards a litigious society, directors and officers of Limited companies are increasingly being put into situations where they are being personally sued for work-based and contractual disputes.

SME-focussed chartered insurance broker insure4biz.com is encouraging all Limited companies to take out Directors' and Officers' Liability cover to their personal liability should a dispute arise.

Juliet Marke, Associate Director of insure4biz.com, commented: "There are many examples of directors of companies who have had proceedings issued on them following a work-based dispute, and have ended up being personally-sued. Directors often do not realise the personal implications that a work-based dispute can cause and they need to be aware that they could be personally liable.

"Directors' and Officers' Liability cover gives the peace of mind that the directors are protected should a legal dispute regarding the company occur."
