Key Differences in Management Liability Insurance

Aon centers its program on professional partnerships

AIG’s portfolio lists directors and officers, employment practices, fiduciary, crime and kidnap-and-ransom products. Aon describes management-liability programs designed for professional partnerships, protecting partners and managers from business-operation liabilities. That focus gives law, accounting and consulting firms a partnership-specific advisory route, while AIG’s list spans multiple management-risk products and organization types. Ask Aon how its program fits your partnership structure and which insurers would issue the policies. 3 6

AIG names a broader range of organization types

AIG describes solutions for public, private and nonprofit organizations, financial institutions and professional-services firms. Aon’s cited practice identifies law, accounting and consulting firms as its audience; that description does not establish eligibility for every firm. AIG links to applications and national product contacts, while Aon frames its service as brokerage and advice. 3 6

What to Confirm in Management Liability Insurance Quotes

  • Ask Aon which carriers and policy forms support its partnership program and what coverages it combines. 6
  • Confirm the AIG product and form for each desired coverage rather than treating the portfolio list as one policy. 3
