Employment Practices Liability Insurance
Growing awareness of individual employment rights and more stringent legislation provides employees with a platform to sue for wrongful employment practices, with ever increasing success. This can result in dramatic losses of company assets.

Companies are now faced with employment-related exposures such as:

  • Wrongful termination
  • Unlawful failure to employ or promote
  • Discrimination based on age, gender, race, etc.
  • Sexual or racial harassment
  • Breach of data protection laws
  • Retaliation
  • Defamation

We provide
Employment Practices Liability (EPL) Insurance programs that cover the company, its management and employees against claims brought by the company's past, present and prospective employees alleging wrongful employment practices.

We customize
Comprehensive EPL insurance programs that protect our clients against employment-related claims and against the risk of large financial losses.
