Professional Indemnity
Protection for the advice, design and professional services your clients rely on.
Professional Indemnity insurance can protect professionals and firms against claims alleging negligence, error, omission or breach of professional duty.
Overview
Protecting the advice you give, not just physical assets
For professional services firms, the core exposure isn't property damage — it's the risk that advice, design or professional work is later alleged to have been negligent or incorrect.
Professional Indemnity is designed specifically for that exposure.

Coverage
Possible Cover
Read Carefully
Important Considerations
- Cover is typically arranged on a claims-made basis — the policy in force when the claim is made responds, not necessarily the one in force when the work was done.
- The retroactive date determines how far back prior work is covered — confirm this carefully when switching insurers.
- Notification requirements are strict — delayed notification of circumstances can jeopardise cover.
- Contractual liability beyond your normal legal duty may not be covered.
- Consider territorial limits, jurisdiction and run-off cover (especially if closing or restructuring the business).

Coverages of Professional Indemnity Insurance
Occurrence Coverage
An Occurrence insurance policy provides a safety net for the policyholder by covering incidents that transpire during the active policy term, irrespective of when the claim is lodged.
This type of policy continues to address claims even post-cancellation, provided the incident took place while the coverage was active. Essentially, an Occurrence policy furnishes enduring protection for events happening during the insured period.
Claims Made
The policy will respond to claims made during the policy period due to an incident which had occurred after the Retroactive date.
A retroactive date is established as the day the very first policy is issued. All subsequent renewal policies use the same initial retroactive date.Each succeeding year the policy is continuously renewed, the “coverage period” is extended with the retroactive date as very first policy date.
Once premiums stop the coverage stops. Claims made to the Insurance company after the coverage period ends will not be covered, even if the alleged incident occurred while the policy was in force.
