D&O vs E&O (and Other Liability Policies)
When navigating business insurance, two acronyms that often come up are D&O and E&O. They sound similar but serve very different purposes. D&O stands for Directors and Officers insurance, while E&O stands for Errors and Omissions insurance (also commonly known as Professional Liability insurance). It’s important for business owners and executives to understand the distinction between these coverages, as well as how other liability policies like EPLI or general liability fit into the picture. Here we’ll break down D&O vs. E&O and mention a few other related policies to clarify their roles.
