Professional Indemnity

The Risk

For professions such as law, accounting and surveying through to those such as management consulting and investment advisors, there are risks associated with provision of a service. These include allegations of negligence, wrongful acts and errors or omissions arising from the conduct of business.

As the commercial environment becomes ever more litigious, so the risk increases. Organisations are now subject to greater regulation than ever before, making the risk of a compliance oversight more likely. It is also well known that when allegations are launched, no matter how spurious, the cost of the legal defence and any subsequent settlement can prove catastrophic.
