Professional Indemnity Insurance for Management Consultants

Before you start consulting, consult with Aon!

At Aon, we understand the risks you face as a Management Consultant.

The risk of a claim being brought against you increases with every client you provide advice to and every project you undertake.

With defence costs often stretching into the hundreds of thousands of dollars, there is a high risk of you suffering financial loss by not having the correct cover in place.

Aon offer a competitively-priced, tailored insurance solution. With Aon, you’re covered for the key risks you face every day.

What is Professional Indemnity insurance?

The very nature of work as a consultant, advising clients and providing them with solutions, means that consultants are exposed to the potential for litigation on a daily basis.

Should a claim be brought against you, professional indemnity insurance covers any legal costs and expenses that you may incur in bringing a defence. It also covers any costs that may be awarded should the advice, software or systems you’ve provided be found to be inadequate.

Do I need Professional Indemnity insurance?

Most people think that claims happen to other people and that it won’t happen to them. With the minimum claim in this space currently standing at $1.5 million, is that a risk you’re willing to take?

Whenever you develop, implement or provide training on software you are entering into a contract with the client. If you fail to deliver on this contract because the system you implemented doesn’t work, or there’s a privacy breach in the training documentation, then the client is likely to sue.
