# Newfront D&O Insurance

Newfront Directors and Officers (D&O) Insurance

Newfront's Executive Risk practice brokers D&O coverage, negotiating placement for management-liability lines. Deirdre Finn, the Executive Risk Solutions Practice Leader, oversees this D&O, employment-practices and fiduciary book of business. [1](https://www.newfront.com/executive-risk "Executive Risk") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Executive Risk offering page and Leadership section.)

## Issuing Insurer

- **Not publicly disclosed.** The reviewed Executive Risk page does not name the insurer or insurers that would issue a D&O policy placed through Newfront. [1](https://www.newfront.com/executive-risk "Executive Risk") (Scope: Executive Risk page as read on 2026-09-23; carrier depends on the specific placement.)

## Who It’s For

- Newfront says it services private companies "from seed round through every series of capital funding," including over 120 unicorn companies, and has worked with over 500 publicly traded companies on D&O-relevant matters such as M&A and IPOs. [1](https://www.newfront.com/executive-risk "Executive Risk") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Here for the Long Run section; company-reported client counts, not independently verified.)

## Coverage Features

- Newfront lists "Directors and Officers (D&O)—Private and public companies" and "Side A DIC D&O" among its Executive Risk Key Coverages, and says its D&O work includes protection against securities-related litigation and regulatory investigations. [1](https://www.newfront.com/executive-risk "Executive Risk") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Key Coverages list and Committed to Client Advocacy section; Side A DIC is a difference-in-conditions option, and actual trigger and exclusions require the proposed wording.)

## Limits and Retentions

- **Not publicly disclosed.** The reviewed Executive Risk page does not publish D&O limits or retentions. [1](https://www.newfront.com/executive-risk "Executive Risk") (Scope: Executive Risk page as read on 2026-09-23.)

## Risk Services

- Newfront says clients get 24/7 access to their D&O program through its connected dashboard, and that renewals use automated, pre-populated historical data for faster submissions and approvals. [1](https://www.newfront.com/executive-risk "Executive Risk") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Industry-Leading Technology section of the Executive Risk page.)

## How to Apply

- Newfront describes a process for private companies transitioning to public status through an IPO, deSPAC or direct listing, and you start a D&O placement by requesting a consultation through the Executive Risk page. [1](https://www.newfront.com/executive-risk "Executive Risk") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Committed to Client Advocacy section and page call-to-action; no online quoting or binding described.)

## Claims Support

- Newfront says it provides "integrated claims and coverage negotiation" for its Executive Risk lines, which would apply to a D&O claim. [1](https://www.newfront.com/executive-risk "Executive Risk") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: The Newfront Difference section; described across Executive Risk lines, not a D&O-specific claims workflow.)
