As a mediator, arbitrator or impartial guidance professional, your expertise directly impacts dispute outcomes and case settlements. However, even with the best efforts, unintended issues can potentially arise over time after cases conclude. For example, certain regulatory problems may emerge or overlooked assets that should have been considered.
Without adequate insurance, this leaves professionals vulnerable to negligence claims and demands for substantial compensation if a previously settled dispute gets brought back to court. Understandably, this could seriously threaten livelihoods.
Our mediators and arbitrators insurance policies provide complete protection so any claims against you will be handled by your insurer. Professional Saver offers specialist dispute resolution coverage starting from under £54* per year.

Our friendly and experienced team can explain all available options to ensure comprehensive protection.
Our mediators and arbitrators insurance policies can also extend to cover any temporary staff, freelancers or independent contractors you appoint to help with professional activities like mediation, arbitration, conciliation or other impartial facilitation of dispute resolution.

Essentially this flexibility ensures you and any personnel operating under your company direction are fully protected while conducting professional dispute resolution guidance. We understand that peaks in workloads or complex case expertise requirements make outsourcing vital at times.
