MLI Coverage in Melbourne,VIC

Aims to cover the costs of defending Directors, high and low-level managers and employees against any claims that are the results of any individual’s decisions or actions.

Many companies, their directors and senior managers unwittingly allow themselves and their personal assets to be exposed to potentially devastating litigation, mistakenly believing that their public liability or professional indemnity insurance extends to protect them in the event of legal claims against themselves and the company.

Furthermore you might consider an action taken by a third party is baseless, however dealing with a dispute means obtaining legal advice which often results in significant costs. Defence and investigation costs alone can be financially crippling for businesses and individuals and without adequate protection you could risk losing not only your business but also your personal assets.
