New York, New York – April 5, 2018 – Everest Specialty Underwriters (ESU), a division of Everest Insurance^®, is pleased to announce its newest product offering with the launch of Everest’s  Private Company Management Liability Policy (Everest Expedition℠). This new modular management and professional liability policy is designed to provide private companies with essential protection in the face of increasing corporate scrutiny. 

Salvatore Collura, Head of Everest’s Private Company/Not-For-Profit business segment said,   “The scope of risks facing a private company, and its management team, has significantly increased in the last few years. In light of this, companies are regularly seeking greater protection from their insurance providers. Growing cyber risks, increasing incidents of workplace violence, employee theft, and attacks against corporate leadership all reinforce the need for deeper coverage. Moreover, insurance claims are originating from a number of unanticipated sources including employees, customers, investors, vendors, creditors, and regulators.” 

Everest Expedition℠ is designed to respond to these ever evolving risks. The Everest Expedition℠ policy offers eight lines of coverage; Directors and Officers Liability, Employment Practices Liability, Fiduciary Liability, Crime, Cyber Liability, Kidnap and Ransom, Miscellaneous Professional Liability and Employed Lawyers Liability. The new Everest Expedition℠ policy provides various unique coverages, coverage enhancements, and innovative Everest solutions available within the Expedition standard policy terms, such as:

• Optional duty to defend
• Pre-Claim Costs
• Expansive D&O and Fiduciary Inquiry Coverage
• Dedicated Social Engineering Fraud limit
• Reimbursement of up to 5% of policy premium for utilizing pre-breach service offerings
