MSI helps protect high-growth companies in several sectors from employee lawsuits arising from a wide range work-related issues

Helping companies navigate an expanding range of employment-related litigation

Employers today face a heightened risk of lawsuits from employees claiming harassment, wrongful termination, breach of contract, discrimination, and other issues stemming from the employment relationship. To address these risks, MSI provides up to $4 million of non-admitted Employment Practices Liability (EPL) coverage, backed by a highly-rated global insurer, offered only as an extension of our Directors & Officers Liability (D&O) coverage.

Our EPL coverage is designed for high-growth companies in sectors ranging from crypto and cannabis to biotech and edtech, and can scale up as fast as their headcount. Our expert underwriters can quickly develop customized solutions to meet these companies’ unique needs, including bespoke primary coverage that goes beyond a professional employer organization’s policy and a “wage and hour” defense-only submit to help fight claims of misclassifying exempt and non-exempt employees.

Providing expert risk management and claim services

MSI delivers exceptional service throughout the policy lifecycle, including quotes within two days and HR and risk management services, such as web-based tools and a 24-hour phone line that suggest best practices for avoiding claims. With decades of claims experience, we know how to manage claims and litigation to help achieve the best outcomes efficiently, and even with our duty to defend, we offer clients flexibility in choice of counsel.  

Look to MSI for expert, tailored coverages to protect emerging companies from employment-related risks so they can stay focused on growth.
