Sole Traders ML Insurance

Berkley Insurance Australia has developed Sole Traders Management Liability because Private Company Management Liability policies are not suitable for Sole Traders.

Companies are incorporated and as a result, their ML policies require company reimbursement clauses. Sole Traders by their very nature are not incorporated and, therefore, require a bespoke ML contract – called Sole Traders Management Liability, or STML.

Claims Example

Management Liability policies encompass a number of different covers including, but not limited to, Directors & Officers Liability, Company Liability and Employment Practices Liability.

Claims against either an Insured Person or Company can range from demands for compensation or damages to criminal or regulatory proceedings.

Companies regularly seek cover under the Employment Practices Liability extension for circumstances concerning Unfair Dismissal, harassment, discrimination and other related wrongful acts.

Unfair Dismissal claims are typically commenced in the Fair Work Commission via the lodgment of an Application by the claimant party. BIA regularly responds to such applications with the aid of its specialist employment law panel partners and we aim to resolve such matters by the most appropriate means.
