Assets & Liberty Costs (including Deprivation of Assets) (D&O)

Assets and Liberty Costs cover pays for the personal fallout directors can face during regulatory action. This includes asset freezing orders, charges placed over personal property, and even the threat of jail. The cover usually pays legal costs to fight or change an asset preservation order. It also pays costs to have a freezing order lifted or eased. It pays fees to oppose extradition, and costs to challenge any loss of liberty. In Australia, regulators such as ASIC can ask a court to freeze a director's personal assets. This can happen while they investigate or prosecute alleged corporate misconduct. These orders can cause serious harm to a director's life, even before any wrongdoing is proven. This cover lets directors get legal help to protect their assets and freedom when regulators use these powers against them. It may also pay reasonable living costs and ongoing business expenses while assets stay frozen. This helps directors support themselves and keep defending the claim.
