The technology and media revolution of recent years has resulted in a more sophisticated and progressively litigious society. As a professional, you now face more demanding clients who increasingly require you to hold Professional Indemnity cover before they will give you business.
These client demands have seen increasing contractual responsibilities placed on business, which has in turn led to more vulnerability to the possibility of being sued for professional negligence.
We aim to develop a real understanding of your business in order that the cover provided genuinely meets your needs. A national presence means fast response times supported by a dedicated team responsible for specific clients. We work in partnership with many professional trade bodies. Our current affinity group portfolio covers such varied sectors as:
- Recruitment
- Architects
- Surveyors
- Environmental Health
- Advisers
- Management Consultants
The rise in negligence claims has resulted in escalating damage awards and the inevitable heavy burden of legal defence costs. The traditional professions (accountants, solicitors, surveyors etc) are compelled by their professional bodies to insure their professional exposure. However, other professionals (management consultants, recruitment consultants etc.) are realising that claims can and do occur and that carrying Professional Indemnity can:
- Protect their livelihood from the potentially damaging effects of unforeseen events.
- Assist them in securing business by reassuring their clients that they are able to withstand the financial effects of their mistakes.
