All very helpful and efficient. I think they made a real effort to understand how my organisation works and what I need.
Because professional indemnity insurance is a claims-made policy (i.e. your claim falls to the policy that’s currently in place, not the one in force at the time an incident occurred), you need to maintain cover even when you cease trading.
Run-off provides cover for legal costs and compensation claims from third parties. These may arise as a result of providing negligent advice or services resulting in financial loss.
Compensation claims can still be brought against you even if you provided a service or your advice for free.
The recommended amount of cover (often referred to as a “limit of indemnity”) varies according to your business. It depends upon the type of work undertaken, typical contract values, and a host of other factors. If you want guidance on a suitable limit, either contact us or speak to your professional or industry body.
