Professional Indemnity Insurance Cover

What Is PI Insurance?

Professional Indemnity Insurance (PI) is designed to cover your business against legal costs when a mistake or bad advice causes financial loss. This includes, but is not limited to: the cost of repairing damages, current and future loss of earnings and any other impact against the company as a result of your negligence or bad advice.

Eliminating Your Risks

If your business is exposed to the following risks, we highly recommend speaking to our team who can help you find a suitable professional indemnity policy:

  • Negligence or breach of care - if you give bad advice to a client which results in financial loss.
  • Breach of copyright or confidentiality - if you share sensitive information with unauthorised individuals.
  • Dishonesty or defamation - if you make false statements about someone which damages their reputation.
  • Loss of documents - sensitive documents may be lost whilst in your possession (e.g. architectural drawings).
  • Disputes over IP (intellectual property) - if you use content which is copyright protected without the owner's consent.

"Went out of the way to make sure I got the correct insurance and was very competitive with the quote too. I'd highly recommend and will use again in the future."



We appreciate that claims involving professional indemnity can often be complex matters. Our team will be here to discuss any questions you may have regarding your policy and we can guarantee that we will have your back if you need professional advice when defending a claim.

What Is Covered?

The level of cover you require for professional indemnity insurance will be trade dependent with the majority of businesses taking cover up to £5 million. If required, we can build additional layers of cover in to your policy to achieve a higher amount of cover.

PI insurance can help protect your business against a wide range of unforeseen risks when dealing with customers including:

  • Financial loss - a client may look to recover their lost income from you if they suffer financial loss subsequent of poor advice.
  • Personal injury - if someone suffers an injury directly resulting from your professional negligence, they may seek damages for their suffering.
  • Property damage - property may be damaged following professional work your business has carried out. The individual or company affected may claim for the necessary repairs.
  • Budget overruns - if a pre-planned budget is exceeded due to inadequate care by your company, your client could try to make a claim for the increased amount.
  • Future loss - an unintentional mistake where your company is deemed liable could cause future consequential loss for a client. They may be eligible to issue legal proceedings against you for the loss of money.

PI Insurance is not compulsory by law but it could be a requirement that you need to undertake depending on the regulators within your sector.
