FAQs

Director’s liability insurance is designed to protect individuals who oversee companies or organisations. It can provide personal financial protection against legal actions relating to management decisions, ensuring directors aren’t left personally liable for alleged mismanagement or negligence.
If you serve on a board or hold a leadership position in a production company or performing arts organisation, this cover may be essential.
-
Professional indemnity insurance helps protect against claims of negligence, breach of contract, or errors in the services you provide. For performers, it can cover situations such as failing to fulfil a contractual obligation, delivering a subpar performance, or causing financial loss to a client. This policy is particularly valuable if you frequently negotiate contracts or offer specialised services within the entertainment industry.
