Professional Indemnity
Professional Indemnity (PI) insurance is designed to help respond to claims against your business for losses due to actual or alleged negligent acts or omissions in the provision of your professional service or advice. Professional Indemnity insurance may also help with legal costs associated with responding to or managing claims covered by the policy. Not all businesses are the same; therefore, there is no “one size fits all” policy when it comes to your professional indemnity policy.
It isn’t always required by law but is often required by regulatory or professional bodies. Plus, many companies find it instils a degree of confidence and credibility in their organisation and the work they do.
