Professional indemnity insurance

Provide advice for a fee? Professional Indemnity Insurance protects your business from claims made by your clients and customers against you as a result of the advice that you provide them.

Directors and Officers Insurance (D&O Insurance)

At a glance, D&O Insurance can protect you and/or your company’s leaders and private assets from claims that arise as a result of decisions made during their duties. For example, D&O Insurance can protect business leaders against claims made as a result of allegations of wrongful acts, mismanagement of process, insolvencies, failures to comply with government regulation and laws, settlements as a result of litigation, claims made by competitors and much more.

IT Liability Insurance

IT Liability Insurance is designed to protect you against the numerous risks you may face when you are working as an IT-related professional. The main advantages of a specialist IT Liability Insurance policy is that it combines both Professional Indemnity and Public and Product Liability coverage under the one insurance policy which avoids any gaps in coverage if the two policies are placed with separate insurers.

Business Interruption Insurance

Business Interruption Insurance helps protect your business against unforeseen circumstances that negatively affect your profitability. This could include property related events such as fire and storm, cyber events, product recalls, machinery breakdown and more.

Cyber Insurance

Cyber Insurance is not an option, but a must for all businesses. As a business, you are open to cyber and spyware attacks that could result in significant losses of profit, breach of privacy regulations and more. The right Cyber Insurance policy can provide you with a safety net against these risks.

Management Liability Insurance

Management Liability Insurance is designed to cover you and your Sydney business against claims that could arise from the management of your company, including both past and present. In particular, it provides Directors and Officers Insurance if a director and / or employee are sued personally for being negligent in fulfilling their duties.
