Professional Services Insurance

For firms that sell advice and expertise, where the biggest risk is intangible — a client alleging your work caused them harm.

Professional Services

Insurance built around how you operate

Firms that sell advice or expertise — consultants, agencies, technology, accounting, design — face less physical loss and more exposure to claims of error, negligence, and mishandled data. Their largest risk is intangible: a client asserting your work caused them financial harm.

We structure professional-services programs around your real exposures — errors and omissions, data and privacy, management decisions, and the employment risk every firm carries.

From an insurance perspective

What to look for

The details that decide whether a policy actually protects you when it matters:

Claims-made vs. occurrence

E&O is usually claims-made — your retroactive date and tail (extended reporting) coverage are critical to continuous protection.

Retroactive date

Prior-acts coverage protects work performed before this policy began. Losing it on a switch can be costly.

Definition of "professional services"

Confirm the policy covers what you actually do, not a narrow version that leaves part of your work exposed.

Cyber & social engineering

Wire-fraud and phishing losses need specific coverage — they're often excluded from a basic cyber form.

Defense inside the limits

When defense costs erode your limit, a long dispute can leave little left to settle. Know how your policy is structured.

Contractual indemnity

Client contracts may demand limits and terms your policy must be built to match.

Questions & answers

Professional Services insurance FAQ

What is professional liability (E&O) insurance?

It covers claims that your professional advice or services were negligent, in error, or caused a client financial harm — exposures that general liability does not address.

What does "claims-made" mean for E&O coverage?

A claims-made policy responds only to claims reported while coverage is active, which makes your retroactive date and tail (extended reporting) coverage critical.

What coverages do consultants and agencies need?

Professional liability (E&O), cyber liability, and general liability are core, often with directors & officers (D&O) and employment practices (EPLI) coverage.
