The Basics
What is professional services insurance?
Professional services insurance is designed to help businesses and professionals manage risks associated with the services, advice, or expertise they provide to clients.
Unlike general liability insurance, which primarily addresses bodily injury and property damage claims, professional services coverage focuses on claims alleging errors, omissions, negligence, misrepresentation, or failure to deliver professional services as expected.
Coverage can help businesses navigate financial challenges resulting from covered claims and legal expenses.

Why It Matters
Why is professional services insurance important?
Professional service businesses face unique risks that can lead to costly financial and legal consequences. Consider these common scenarios:
- A management consultant is accused of providing recommendations that fail to meet a client's expectations.
- An accounting firm's systems are compromised in a cyberattack, exposing sensitive client information.
- A fire damages a design firm's office, equipment, and business property.
- An employee files a claim alleging discrimination, harassment, retaliation, or wrongful workplace practices.
- A consultant is injured while traveling for a client engagement or business assignment.
Professional services insurance can help businesses address a wide range of operational, professional, cyber, employment, and property-related risks — providing valuable protection against claims, legal expenses, property losses, data breaches, and other unexpected events that could disrupt operations.
