Hiscox was one of the first insurers to write specialist policies for individual professions. As professionals (from architects and engineers to media and IT consultants) differ, so do their risks. We now cover over 150,000 small- to medium-sized businesses in Europe alone.
Professional liabilities
We provide legal liabilities insurance for small- to medium-sized enterprises, from the self-employed contractor to companies with multiple locations and hundreds of employees. In particular we cover accountants; healthcare professionals; architects; engineers; lawyers; management consultants; media companies; recruitment consultants; technology companies; and travel agencies. We cover many areas, from professional indemnity and employers’ liability, to public liability, employment practices liability and personal insurance for directors and officers.
Errors and omissions
Errors and omissions insurance – often known as professional indemnity in Europe – is a particular area of expertise. We provide specialist cover for any size of business, from consultants working on their own through to large multinationals.
