Frequently Asked Questions.

Professional service firms require specialist insurance because their core exposure isn't physical assets or retail-style operations, it's the risk created by advise, analysis, judgement, and client reliance. Standard business policies are not designed to respond to those failures, allegations, contractual disputes, governance exposures or regulatory pressures.
