India Directors & Officers (D&O) Liability Insurance Claims Trends Report

In today’s rapidly changing business landscape, the roles and responsibilities of directors and officers are under increasing scrutiny. From regulatory/ official body investigations to cybersecurity breaches, to allegations of insider trading, the scope and complexity of risks facing corporate leaders continue to grow. As regulatory pressures mount and shareholder activism intensifies, understanding these developments is essential for organizations looking to strengthen governance and manage risk effectively. D&O Insurance is an important risk mitigation tool which shields directors & officers of a Company from any legal liability due to claims/ lawsuits filed against them alleging wrongful act committed by them while acting in their capacity of a director & officer of the company. We have seen considerable magnitude of D&O claims reported by our BFSI, manufacturing, pharmaceutical and IT companies in the last few years.

This report aims to highlight key trends observed over the past four years, including:

The shifting nature of liability claims targeting senior leadership
Variations in claim types and volumes across different industries
The steady rise in legal expenses across jurisdictions, and
The expanding impact of Artificial Intelligence in enhancing board-level accountability

We also examine common claims scenarios and settlement challenges in D&O insurance, drawing on Marsh’s experience in helping clients navigate these issues successfully.
