We provide comprehensive protection for a wide range of risks professionals face daily:

  • Negligent advice or services
    If your guidance or work leads to client losses, we cover legal defence and compensation costs.

  • Breach of confidentiality
    Accidentally shared sensitive client info? We’ll handle the fallout.

  • Copyright infringement
    Unknowingly used protected content? You’re covered.

  • Defamation (libel or slander)
    We protect your reputation—and your bank balance.

  • Loss or damage of documents
    If physical or digital client files are lost, we cover recovery or replacement costs.

  • Employee dishonesty
    If a staff member commits fraud or theft, your business won’t have to absorb the damage alone.

Do You Really Need It?

While professional indemnity insurance isn’t legally required, many clients, contracts, and professional bodies demand it before working with you.

You should have PI insurance if you:

✔ Provide consultancy or professional advice
✔ Handle sensitive client data or intellectual property
✔ Design plans, specs, or provide expert services
✔ Want to win contracts with bigger clients
✔ Are part of a regulated professional body

💡 Tip: The more sensitive or high-value your work, the higher the cover you’ll need.

Yes. Professional indemnity insurance is a fully allowable business expense—meaning it reduces your taxable profit.

Let’s say you’re a consultant or architect and a small error in your advice or calculations leads to significant client losses. That client files a claim—demanding compensation and legal costs.
