Outside Directorship Liability (ODL)
What is Outside Directorship Liability (ODL)?
Outside Directorship Liability (ODL) may refer to a type of insurance policy designed to protect directors and officers of a company from liability arising from their activities as a director. ODL coverage is intended to provide protection for directors and officers for losses they may incur as a result of their actions while serving as a director or officer of a company. This type of insurance can be beneficial for individuals who are serving in a director or officer role, as it may help protect them from any legal costs that may result from their actions while serving in that role.
Outside Directorship Liability (ODL) in More Detail
Outside Directorship Liability (ODL) may also be used to refer to the specific type of liability that directors and officers may face. Outside Directorship Liability (ODL) covers any liabilities that arise from a director’s or officer’s involvement in the company, including liabilities related to a breach of fiduciary duty, improper management, or any other activities related to their role as a director or officer. This type of liability is typically excluded from general liability policies, so it is important for directors and officers to have ODL coverage in place in order to ensure that they are adequately protected.
