Professional indemnity
Overview
Our large, market-acclaimed insurance team acts for Australian and international insurers and their insureds across multi-disciplinary professional indemnity claims.
As both defence and coverage counsel for claims, disciplinary proceedings and regulatory investigations, our clients value our commercial, responsive and strategic approach. Informed by our in-depth understanding of increasingly sophisticated policy wording we are able to effectively manage insureds’ expectations.
Our clients include professional indemnity insurers of various professions including accountants, architects, designers, engineers, educators, financial advisers, quantity surveyors, building surveyors, valuers, IT professionals, medical practitioners, health professionals, barristers, solicitors, real estate agents, and veterinary surgeons.
Our team is especially well known for defending complex and multi-party claims against almost every category of professional in the construction industry. Our deep understanding of the intricacies of construction and infrastructure projects enables us to provide authoritative advice that few can match.
We are also called on to advise on policy wordings, including the drafting of policies and endorsements, risk management and governance.
Partners in our Professional Indemnity team have been listed in Legal 500 Asia Pacific’s Hall of Fame, recognised as Senior Statespeople by Chambers, and included in Best Lawyers in Australia for many years.
