Professional Indemnity

Get the best professional indemnity in minutes

• Defense Cost Absorption: Covers expensive attorney fees, expert witness costs, and court filings, which accumulate rapidly even if the lawsuit against you is completely groundless.
• Mandatory Regulatory Compliance: In Kenya, maintaining active professional indemnity cover is a strict statutory requirement for practicing professionals governed by bodies like the Law Society of Kenya (LSK), ICPAK, and the Board of Registration of Architects and Quantity Surveyors (BORAQS).
• Secures High-Value Tenders: Automatically qualifies your firm for prestigious corporate consultancies and public procurement bids that legally mandate formal liability security.
• 
  

• Covers actual or alleged errors, omissions, or misstatements made while performing your services (e.g., an accountant miscalculating a tax return, resulting in heavy KRA penalties for the client).

• Provides financial compensation to cover the costs of replacing or restoring critical physical or digital documents, blueprints, or data fields lost or accidentally destroyed while in your custody.

• Protects your firm if an employee accidentally leaks sensitive corporate data or proprietary client information, sparking a breach-of-contract lawsuit.

• Covers legal costs if you accidentally publish or state something that damages a client's or competitor's professional reputation during your marketing or advisory campaigns.
• 
  

Understanding the Claims-Made Basis Rule: > Professional indemnity operates strictly on a "Claims-Made" underwriting trigger. This means the active policy will only cover claims that are formally brought against you during the current policy period, regardless of when the actual mistake occurred (subject to your agreed retroactive continuity date).

• The Selected Limit of Indemnity: The primary baseline is the maximum amount the insurer will pay out per claim. Higher coverage caps require a corresponding premium adjustment.
• Industry and Specialization: Sectors handling high-value structural engineering or complex legal disputes carry a higher risk rating than standard graphic design or copy editing consultancies.
• Annual Gross Revenue: Your firm’s annual fee income serves as a key indicator of the volume and scale of the projects you execute each year.
• Qualifications & Loss History: A clean professional track record with strong internal quality control measures and highly certified directors allows underwriters to offer optimized commercial rates.
