Chubb vs Newfront Management Liability Insurance

Chubb underwrites management liability directly through a suite of products it says is designed for public, private and not-for-profit organizations, with the ForeFront Portfolio as its flagship product for private, not-for-profit and healthcare organizations. ^4,5Company-reported.

Newfront describes management liability as a defined line of business within its Executive Risk practice, led by Deirdre Finn, who it says oversees the company's management-liability lines: D&O liability, employment practices liability and fiduciary liability. Newfront brokers and negotiates these coverages; it does not underwrite them. ¹⁰Company-reported. Executive Risk page leadership bio.
