Professional Liability Products

We offer a range of specialised products tailored to the unique risks of diverse industries. Whether you are a consultant, an engineer, or a healthcare provider, our underwriters offer quick, expert advice to ensure you have the right coverage in place.

Professional Indemnity

Our core product for a wide array of professional services. It protects against civil liability claims and legal defence costs arising from errors or omissions in your professional duty.

Design and Construction

Tailored Professional Indemnity for the construction industry. This coverage is specifically designed for design-and-construct contractors to protect them against error or omissions from their design and / or advice.

Association Liability

A combined policy for the Not-for-Profit sector or an incorporated Association. It merges Professional Indemnity, Management Liability and Crime covers into a single, seamless package for associations and community groups.

IT Liability

A specialised combined policy for the technology sector. It bridges the gap between Professional Indemnity and Public Liability, offering protection for software developers, IT consultants and tech providers.

Medical Malpractice

Comprehensive protection for healthcare professionals and establishments. We provide sensitive, expert handling of clinical negligence risks, from solo practitioners to large medical clinics.
