[Human-readable page](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/gallagher/directors-officers) # Gallagher D&O Insurance Gallagher Directors and Officers (D&O) Liability Insurance Gallagher's Executive and Financial Risk practice places D&O liability insurance and advises on program design; it does not underwrite the policy, which is issued by a carrier selected during placement. [1](https://www.ajg.com/insurance/executive-and-financial-risk-insurance/ "Executive and Financial Risk Insurance") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Group-level executive-and-financial-risk practice page.) ## Issuing Insurer - The executive-and-financial-risk page does not name the insurer that would issue a given client's D&O policy; it says Gallagher weighs carrier qualifications and performance data alongside a client's own insurer history and preferences when deciding which carriers to approach. [1](https://www.ajg.com/insurance/executive-and-financial-risk-insurance/ "Executive and Financial Risk Insurance") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Group-level executive-and-financial-risk practice page.) ## Who It’s For - Gallagher specifically markets D&O placement and advisory support to special-purpose acquisition companies (SPACs) around their IPO and de-SPAC process, and to companies going public through an IPO or direct listing. [1](https://www.ajg.com/insurance/executive-and-financial-risk-insurance/ "Executive and Financial Risk Insurance") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Group-level executive-and-financial-risk practice page, SPAC and IPO subsections.) ## Coverage Features - Gallagher says its D&O team constructs policies addressing lawsuits from shareholders, employees, competitors, suppliers and government bodies, and can evaluate an existing D&O program against the market. [1](https://www.ajg.com/insurance/executive-and-financial-risk-insurance/ "Executive and Financial Risk Insurance") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Group-level executive-and-financial-risk practice page; a service description, not a specific policy's insuring agreement.) ## Limits and Retentions - **Not publicly disclosed.** The executive-and-financial-risk page does not publish D&O limits, retentions or premium ranges. [1](https://www.ajg.com/insurance/executive-and-financial-risk-insurance/ "Executive and Financial Risk Insurance") (Scope: Checked the group-level executive-and-financial-risk practice page.) ## Risk Services - For SPACs and IPOs, Gallagher describes bundling D&O coverage before and after the IPO with related lines such as representations and warranties, E&O, cyber, tax and contingent liability coverage, plus risk-management and claims support at each stage. [1](https://www.ajg.com/insurance/executive-and-financial-risk-insurance/ "Executive and Financial Risk Insurance") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Group-level executive-and-financial-risk practice page, SPAC subsection.) ## Claims Support - Gallagher says its Executive and Financial Risk practice has a dedicated claims-advocacy team with in-house attorneys specializing in these lines, and that it uses quantitative benchmarking, including measuring the judicious use of Side-A-only D&O coverage, to guide more precise coverage structures. [1](https://www.ajg.com/insurance/executive-and-financial-risk-insurance/ "Executive and Financial Risk Insurance") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Group-level executive-and-financial-risk practice summary; describes a support service, not a guarantee of claim payment.) ## Gallagher D&O Insurance Compared - [Gallagher vs Alliance Risk](https://spot.insure/compare/alliance-risk-vs-gallagher/directors-officers) - [Gallagher vs Amelia Risk](https://spot.insure/compare/amelia-risk-vs-gallagher/directors-officers) - [Gallagher vs Beazley](https://spot.insure/compare/beazley-vs-gallagher/directors-officers) - [Gallagher vs CFC](https://spot.insure/compare/cfc-vs-gallagher/directors-officers) - [Gallagher vs Chubb](https://spot.insure/compare/chubb-vs-gallagher/directors-officers) - [Gallagher vs Coalition](https://spot.insure/compare/coalition-vs-gallagher/directors-officers) ## Other Gallagher Coverage Lines - [Gallagher Business Owner’s Policy](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/gallagher/business-owners-policy) - [Gallagher Commercial Auto Insurance](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/gallagher/commercial-auto) - [Gallagher Commercial Property Insurance](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/gallagher/commercial-property) - [Gallagher Crime Insurance](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/gallagher/crime) - [Gallagher Cyber Insurance](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/gallagher/cyber) - [Gallagher Employee Health Benefits](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/gallagher/employee-health-benefits) - [Gallagher Employment Practices Liability Insurance](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/gallagher/employment-practices) - [Gallagher Fiduciary Liability Insurance](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/gallagher/fiduciary) - [Gallagher General Liability Insurance](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/gallagher/general-liability) - [Gallagher Kidnap and Ransom Insurance](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/gallagher/kidnap-ransom) - [Gallagher Product Recall Insurance](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/gallagher/product-recall) - [Gallagher Professional Liability (E&O) Insurance](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/gallagher/professional-errors-omissions) - [Gallagher Representations and Warranties Insurance](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/gallagher/representations-warranties) - [Gallagher Surety Bonds](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/gallagher/surety-bonds) - [Gallagher Tech E&O Insurance](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/gallagher/technology-errors-omissions) - [Gallagher Workers’ Compensation Insurance](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/gallagher/workers-compensation) ## Related - [Gallagher Profile](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/gallagher) - [Gallagher Reliability](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/gallagher/reliability) - [Gallagher Alternatives](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/gallagher/alternatives) - [Coverage Guide: Directors and officers](https://spot.insure/coverage/directors-officers) ## Sources 1.
