Newfront vs USI Insurance Services Management Liability Insurance

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. ⁵Company-reported. Executive Risk page leadership bio.

USI brokers management liability as a bundle rather than underwriting it, packaging D&O, employment practices liability, fiduciary liability and crime coverage under its ExecuSafe endorsement program. ¹⁰Company-reported. ExecuSafe article.

The reviewed page does not name an insurer for management-liability placements; as a broker, Newfront says it negotiates coverage and claims on the client's behalf, so the issuing carrier varies by placement. ⁵Not found in reviewed sources. Checked the Executive Risk page for a named D&O, EPLI or fiduciary carrier; none was found.

USI does not name the insurer for ExecuSafe or its component coverages on the pages reviewed; it describes ExecuSafe as an endorsement package it applies when placing a client's management liability program with the market. ¹⁰Not publicly disclosed. Article and Business Services page as read on 2026-09-23.

Newfront says its Executive Risk practice works with private companies from seed-stage funding through later rounds, guides companies through IPO, deSPAC and direct-listing transitions, and has worked with over 500 publicly traded companies on management-liability-adjacent needs like M&A and litigation. ⁵Company-reported. Executive Risk page's Here for the Long Run section; a program-wide eligibility statement, not a management-liability-only threshold.

USI targets small- and medium-sized businesses that it says often lack the time, resources or expertise to evaluate D&O and related management liability risks on their own. ¹⁰Company-reported. ExecuSafe article's stated audience.

Under management liability, Newfront lists directors and officers (D&O) insurance for private and public companies, Side A difference-in-conditions (DIC) D&O that protects individual directors when the company can't indemnify them, employment practices liability insurance (EPLI), and fiduciary liability for benefit-plan decision makers. ⁵Company-reported. Executive Risk page's Key Coverages list and Newfront Difference section; labels establish marketed brokerage capability, not specific policy wording, which the buyer's forms control.

USI describes ExecuSafe as addressing a company's D&O and management liability risks together, and separately lists D&O, employment practices liability, fiduciary liability, crime, and errors and omissions/professional liability as coverages its Business Services practice places. ^10,11Company-reported. Combines the ExecuSafe article's framing with the Business Services catalogue; actual insuring agreements and exclusions are set by the issued policy.

Published limits or retentions for management-liability coverage were not found on the reviewed page. ⁵Not publicly disclosed. Executive Risk page as read on 2026-09-23; limits are quote-specific for broker placements.

Neither the ExecuSafe article nor the Business Services page publishes limit, retention or premium figures for a management liability bundle. ^10,11Not publicly disclosed. Pages as read on 2026-09-23.

Newfront says it provides integrated claims and coverage negotiation for management-liability matters, including shielding directors and officers from wrongful-termination and securities-litigation claims and safeguarding fiduciaries against breach-of-duty and excessive-fee allegations, plus a proprietary dashboard for 24/7 access to policies, certificates and billing and pre-populated renewal submissions. ⁵Company-reported. Executive Risk page's Committed to Client Advocacy and Industry-Leading Technology sections.

USI says it works with businesses to identify D&O and related management liability risks, review any existing policies for coverage gaps, and secure coverage through ExecuSafe, on top of its Business Services practice's general claim advocacy and risk-control offerings. ^10,11Company-reported. ExecuSafe article's "How USI Can Help" section and Business Services practice description.

You engage Newfront for management-liability placement by requesting a consultation, which asks for your industry, company details and the service you need rather than issuing an instant quote. ⁶Company-reported. General consultation intake, not a management-liability-specific application path.

USI directs small- and medium-sized businesses to email Select.Business@usi.com to discuss ExecuSafe and management liability risk generally. ¹⁰Company-reported. Contact instructions on the ExecuSafe article.
