Protecting Legal Professionals with Tailored Professional Indemnity Insurance

Protecting Legal Professionals with Tailored Professional Indemnity Insurance

23/01/2025 Written by: Torquil Crawford, Divisional Director - Professional Indemnity

Professional Indemnity (PI) insurance is a critical safeguard for solicitors, barristers, and legal executives, protecting them from claims that may arise due to advice given or actions taken in their professional capacity. At AssuredPartners, we understand the unique risks faced by legal professionals and provide tailored insurance solutions to meet their needs.

Why is Professional Indemnity Insurance Essential for Solicitors?

For solicitors, PI insurance is not just an important layer of protection—it’s a regulatory requirement mandated by The Law Society and the Solicitors Regulatory Authority (SRA). Without it, solicitors cannot practice. The nature of legal work often involves high stakes, with clients entrusting their most sensitive and valuable matters to their legal advisors.

Even with the utmost diligence, claims of negligence, breach of trust, or defamation can arise. PI insurance ensures that legal practices, as well as their partners, directors, and employees, are shielded from the financial and reputational damage these claims can cause.

How Does Professional Indemnity Insurance Work?

AssuredPartners’ professional indemnity policies cover solicitors across various practice areas, including:

  • Litigation
  • Corporate and commercial law
  • Conveyancing and real estate
  • Family law
  • Probate and wills
  • Employment law
