Professional Indemnity Insurance in Ireland
Clear, specialist cover for professionals and advisory businessesIf your business offers advice or services, you could be liable as a result of professional mistakes or negligent advice
Giving advice or professional services carries risk. If a client says your work caused them a financial loss, wrong advice, a mistake, a missed step, they can claim against you. Professional indemnity (PI) insurance helps with legal defence costs and compensation you’re liable to pay for covered claims, such as negligence, errors or omissions.
