Management Liability Insurance

Protect Your Business with Management Liability Insurance

In the 1850s when we launched Gilbert’s Risk Solutions, a person’s word was generally his or her bond. In today’s complex world, it’s vital to be insulated not just from physical exposures but also from the minefield of legal exposures that could wreak havoc with your business – particularly for your leadership team.

Management Liability Insurance is also called Executive Liability Insurance because it protects managerial, financial, executive, and board-level exposures. We work with more than 100 of the nation’s premier insurance companies, enabling us to find and tailor the right coverage for your unique needs. 

While we’re proud to call Pennsylvania our home, we’ve helped businesses all across the country manage their risk, and we look forward to helping you too, no matter where you call home.

Our RISK SHIELD® Process

Gilbert’s Risk Solutions takes a consultative, risk management approach to your business. Our proprietary RISK SHIELD® Process identifies the extent of your organization’s exposures and puts a loss control plan in place to mitigate them. Often the solution is an insurance product, but frequently it’s a recommendation for a business process or security measure that reduces an exposure.

Our Goal Is to Be Your Outsourced Risk Management Partner

A single lawsuit against a director, officer, or HR decision can threaten your organization’s operations, productivity, and bottom line — regardless of company size. Gilbert’s Risk Solutions helps you identify these leadership-level exposures and build the right protection before a claim ever happens.

Tailored Solutions

For many businesses, a Management Liability package coupled with Commercial General Liability offers good protection, but other coverages may be advisable depending on your industry – hospitality, construction, and manufacturing firms, for example, might benefit from Pollution Liability. As part of our risk assessment, we’ll advise you of any industry-specific exposures that warrant supplemental coverage.

360 Degree Approach

We take a 360-degree view of your business to ensure all aspects are secure. Our team of experts in Loss Control, Employee Benefits, HR, and Surety Bonds are all available to our commercial clients, ensuring multi-pronged risk mitigation.

I have to say a huge shoutout to Ashley! We are purchasing our first home and as one knows, that can be a daunting process (to say the least)! She was able to bundle our home and auto together and she sought out the best coverage for the best price. She was quick, concise and answered all my questions. My experience was wonderful! It is a comfort to know there are still people that do there job having your best interest at heart! Thank you Gilbert's Risk Solutions!

Meriaha Mitcheltree has serviced my auto and homeowners insurance for many years. She is always reachable and goes out of her way to make sure I have complete coverage at a competitive price. I live quite a distance away and in another state from the Gilbert’s office, but I have always stayed with them because of Meriaha.

Ashley is fantastic! My car was totaled last month and I dealt with Progressive directly for my claim. However, when it came time to shop for a new car, Ashley was incredibly patient and helpful. I sent her a handful of VINs and she was able to give me quotes on all the vehicles before I even test drove them. It made the process of buying a new car VERY helpful. I deeply appreciate Ashley's help and patience with me!
