Unity D&O

A specialised Directors & Officers insurance facility combining comprehensive cover, proactive risk prevention and dedicated claims support

Across Europe, intensified regulatory scrutiny, increased enforcement activity and evolving corporate transactions are steadily increasing the frequency and complexity of D&O claims. Market capacity is competitive but fragmented, and inconsistent local wordings can create uncertainty for multinational programmes.

Marsh Unity D&O is a pan‑European Directors & Officers facility that addresses these challenges giving companies fast access to market‑leading D&O protection under a single, harmonized wording. Backed by a competing panel of six A‑rated insurers with local underwriting and claims teams across Europe, Unity simplifies placement, delivers meaningful limits and reduces the uncertainty that can arise from inconsistent local wordings.

Designed for organizations which are privately or publicly owned, with revenues below €1 billion, who are not a financial institution and not US listed, Unity D&O combines clear policy language with practical protections - pre‑priced runoff, country‑specific features for key jurisdictions and optional extensions (EPL, crime, private‑equity). The result is quicker quotes, easier comparisons across insurers and reliable claims service when it matters most.
