What is Professional Liability Insurance?

Professional Indemnity Insurance, also known as Professional Liability Insurance or Errors and Omissions Insurance (E&O), is a broad method of insurance protection established to safeguard your livelihood.

The business environment in Hong Kong, China, and Southeast Asia is dynamic and rapidly expanding and evolving.

And operating in today’s economic environment demands the coverage provided under a professional indemnity insurance policy – to help your business operation grow while avoiding or preventing risk.

Our professional indemnity insurance provides cover for:

• Any claim for civil liability in the conduct of your business
• Any actual or alleged breach of duty
• Breach of warranty of authority
• Breach of confidentiality occurring in the performance of professional services

• Intellectual property infringement
• Emergency defence costs and legal representation expenses
• Joint venture liability
• Loss of documents
• Newly-acquired subsidiaries
• Dishonesty of employees
• Runoff cover for insured entity
• Continuous cover
• And many more.

Professional Indemnity Insurance reduces the concerns over the financial loss and provides more certainty over the operation of your business, which leads to better service to your clients.
