Overview
In today’s legal, economic and regulatory environment, management liability products such as Directors & Officers Liability (D&O), Employment Practices Liability (EPL), Fiduciary Liability and Commercial Crime are of the utmost importance. Brokers, agents, clients and their counsel work extensively on crafting the terms and conditions of the primary policies to provide extensive coverage. With many companies purchasing excess insurance as well, it is essential for an excess policy to seamlessly follow the terms and conditions of that primary policy. This ensures that the same breadth of coverage is provided without any potential gaps that can cause financial harm to a purchaser. The Arch Essential Excess Policy® is a simple, straightforward policy that succeeds in meeting this important goal of follow-form coverage.
