Professional Saver Specialist Insurance for Legal Professionals


Our standard cover is:

  • £1 million cover for public and products liability (with an option to increase to £2 million, £5 million or £10 million)
  • £10,000 cover for any financial loss (£50K cover optional)
  • Worldwide liability cover for temporary work abroad for up to 14 days (excluding the USA and Canada)

As a legal professional, clients depend on your expertise to provide accurate advice and robust legal counsel to resolve disputes, finalise contracts, minimise tax liabilities and more. However, just one oversight or error could expose you to substantial negligence claims, regulatory action and reputational damage.

Our public liability insurance policies can be tailored to provide complete protection so any disputes caused by your legal advice will be handled by your insurer. We also cover legal defence costs and fines from regulatory investigations.

FAQs

Legal Professionals Insurance FAQs

Legal professionals need insurance because clients depend on accurate counsel to resolve disputes, minimise tax bills, finalise contracts and more. If flawed advice causes financial loss, legal professionals risk substantial negligence claims and regulatory action without adequate insurance.

  • Incorrect advice on a merger leading to major additional tax liabilities
  • Poor counsel regarding a patent application resulting in intellectual property theft
  • Filing a case late causing it to be thrown out leading to loss of damages
  • Flawed contract guidance allowing loopholes resulting in a large loss

Our professional indemnity insurance covers client financial loss claims like these.

Our cover is designed to protect typical legal services like:

  • Litigation, arbitration, mediation and disputes
  • Mergers, acquisitions and transaction guidance
  • Contract, compliance and regulation counsel
  • Wills, probate, trusts and estate planning
  • Corporate, commercial, IP and patent law

Yes – our legal professionals insurance can be extended to cover freelance/contract individuals operating under your firm’s regulatory permissions. This ensures appropriate professional indemnity and public liability insurance applies to their work too.
