Professional Indemnity Insurance

Professional indemnity policies provide coverage for defense costs as well as indemnity payments. Claims against the insured may arise from actual or alleged breaches of duty. Even if no breach of duty is found to exist, costs to defend the insured may be substantial.

Our standard policy provides cover for the following:

• Errors and omissions;
• Breaches of professional duty, (including negligence & breach of contract);
• Breaches of the Fair Trading Act;
• Libel and slander and other defamation issues;
• Loss of documents.

Other Features include:

• Access to some of the country's best defense lawyers;
• a dedicated and experienced claims team;
• premiums that are competitively priced.

This product is well-suited to professional sectors including (but not limited to) lawyers, accountants, information technology, architects, engineers, insurance brokers, multi-media, personnel consultants and travel agents.
