Professional Indemnity Insurance

In industries such as medicine, accounting, law and financial advice, Professional Indemnity insurance is mandatory.

What is Professional Indemnity Insurance?

Mistakes are a part of life, but if your business is found liable for negligence, the costs could be financially devastating. There is potential for expensive lawsuits, as well as a loss to your business’ reputation.

This is where Professional Indemnity insurance can help. It is designed to help protect your assets and brand if your advice or services cause a client to take legal action against your business.

Who needs it?

In industries such as medicine, accounting, law and financial advice, Professional Indemnity insurance is mandatory. Requirements around cover can also differ across the country.

Whilst not required by law, those in professions where professional services or advice are given in exchange for a fee, Professional Indemnity is recommended. Often customers may request that this cover is in place before entering into business with you. If you outsource work to contractors you may still be legally liable for any errors they make. So if this sounds like your business, it would be worth making sure you are protected.
