With our Manager SOS app, the support you urgently need is at the touch of a button

If the public prosecutor comes calling, it will be one of the most stressful days of your life – and it is widely accepted that stressed people become more prone to mistakes.

As an extra layer of protection, Howden hendricks has designed an app especially for directors and officers that takes the hassle out of getting a qualified lawyer by your side quickly.  

Prof. Dr. Jürgen Wessing, a D&O liability lawyer who worked with us on developing the app, says:

"Managers often believe they can manage everything; in criminal law, this is one of the cardinal errors. Criminal law is like a foreign language, if I don't know it, I make mistakes. The app helps to avoid serious mistakes in an emergency and to get competent help from a specialized lawyer in the shortest possible time."

The Manager SOS app provides 24/7 rapid access to a panel of specialist, pre-authorised lawyers

Howden hendricks has an extensive partner network of 140 legal firms that have specialists in the types of legal issues and liability claims that managing directors, board members and supervisory board members face. We have partnered with these firms for many years, and we value their expertise.

By clicking the Manager SOS button, appropriate lawyers will be alerted to your situation and one will pick up your case and respond to you promptly. Initially, they will support you on the phone and attend the scene as soon as possible.

While you wait, you may have the public prosecutors representatives with you. You may be subject to a search of your business premises – the app provides you with simple, easy-to-digest advice on what to do, how to act and what to say (or more likely, not say).

Stay up to date, stay out of trouble

Another key element of the app is the essential reading it provides on key risk management topics, helping you keep abreast of the legal environment around D&O liability.

This includes information and analysis of new regulations and legal judgements that may affect you and your business.   

Spot gaps in coverage with 360° manager protection

The final significant benefit of the Manager SOS app is a tool to help client companies assess the both the personal and corporate coverage of the individuals covered.

Kick-start your claims

Not all claims will be as urgent, so remember you can always speak to one of our in-house lawyers and claims experts to launch your claim, or for any other liability insurance questions you have.
