GENERAL PARTNERS' LIABILITY COVERAGE
This type of insurance is also known as General Partners' Liability and Limited
Partnership Reimbursement coverage.
A general partner's management and fiduciary responsibilities to a limited
partnership closely parallel the director's or officer's to a corporation. Exposure
occurs when general partners become the financial managers of a limited partnership.
The directors and officers of corporate general partners share this type of
exposure.
Some causes of claims are as follows:
- Untrue written or oral statements made by the general partners.
- Breach of fiduciary duty.
- Incomplete disclosure of facts.
- Omission or misleading statements in the offering memorandum.
- Selling of unregistered limited partnership interests.
- Conflict of interest.
- Failure to devote adequate time to the partnership.
- Appointment of drilling contracts without proper prior investigation as
to their experience.
- Failure to minimize risk factors that prove detrimental.
