In your line of work, your word is your bond. But what happens when your advice, however well-meaning, leads to a loss?
Whether you’re a financial consultant, lawyer, architect, accountant, or medical professional, you operate in a world where the stakes are high, and expectations are higher. People don’t just hire you for services — they trust you with decisions that affect their finances, freedom, safety, or reputation.
And when things go wrong? You’re expected to pay — sometimes literally.
That’s where Professional Indemnity Insurance comes in.
What Is Professional Indemnity Insurance?
Professional Indemnity Insurance (PII) is a liability cover designed to protect professionals who provide advice or services from claims made against them by clients. These claims might allege:
- Negligence
- Misrepresentation
- Omissions or errors in advice
- Breach of confidentiality
- Unintentional infringement of intellectual property
In other words, if a client accuses you of making a mistake that cost them money — even if it’s untrue — this policy steps in to defend and protect you.
Real-World Example
Imagine this: You’re a wealth advisor. You recommend a portfolio that underperforms — not out of incompetence, but due to market volatility. A disgruntled client sues, blaming your “bad advice” for their financial loss. The lawsuit becomes public. Your firm’s credibility takes a hit.
Without indemnity cover, you’d have to shoulder legal fees, settlements, and reputation management out of pocket. With indemnity cover? You’re protected.
Who Needs Professional Indemnity Insurance?
If your work involves consulting, advising, designing, or managing on behalf of a client, you should strongly consider it. This includes:
- Financial Advisors & Fund Managers
- Insurance Brokers
- Architects & Engineers
- Consultants
- IT & Cybersecurity Firms
- Legal & Accounting Professionals
- Medical Practitioners (often covered under specialized malpractice indemnity)
