What is Professional Services Firm Insurance?

Professional Indemnity Insurance protects you and your business against claims for alleged negligence or breach of professional duties from an error or omission in the course of your business. If you make a mistake or omission causes a financial loss to a third party (typically a customer), there is a chance that they may take legal action against for their loss.

Why is Professional Indemnity Insurance needed?

Buying Professional Indemnity Insurance is becoming standard practice for all businesses that provide professional services and advice as it is an easy way to transfer the risk so you can manage your business with confidence that your assets are protected.

A Professional Indemnity Insurance Policy typically protects you against:

Damages awarded to claimants

Legal costs incurred by you and, possibly, the claimants

Claims investigation costs

Public relation costs

Other expenses associated with the claim

Professional Indemnity insurance is sometimes a contractual requirement or compulsory insurance, such as the ASIC requirement to comply with RG 126 for Australian Financial Service Licensees (AFSL) who deal with retail clients.
