My company isn't publicly traded, why would I need a D&O policy?

Many private companies think that D&O exposure is only related to companies with publicly traded stock. Shareholders are not the only potential plaintiffs. A private company can also be sued by employees, investors, customers, competitors, vendors, suppliers, and/or creditors.
