Dedicated page; each core line links out to Alliance Risk's separate line-specific pages for more detail.

Alliance Risk says entry-level packaged programs often share a single aggregate limit across D&O, EPLI and fiduciary, so a large claim on one line can reduce what is left for another line the same policy period.

Alliance Risk says that when one event triggers more than one management-liability line, such as an executive's exit that produces both an EPLI charge and a D&O suit against the board, a single packaged program puts one carrier and one defense team on both threads instead of separate insurers disputing which one leads. ³Company-reported. "One event, two policies" section, illustrated with three placement examples Alliance Risk says it has handled.
