Tom Kennedy, Allied's senior vice president and public D&O product line manager, commented, “In the current regulatory environment, companies and executives face a host of new risks and challenges. Our comprehensive primary D&O product offers the highest level of personal protection. Our goal is to help our insureds both understand and mitigate their exposures at the onset of their relationship with us.”

Primary limits are available up to $25 million, the company noted.
