Working as a consultant can be an incredibly stimulating and rewarding career path. Whether you've been hired to analyse data, uncover and solve problems, develop strategies or implement projects, you have the opportunity to make a real impact on someone's business.
However, this type of work can also be challenging. As a self-employed consultant, you are required to take on a lot of responsibility. When clients are paying for your advice, they expect you to get things right and there is little room for error. If you don't deliver the desired results, and your client believes you've harmed their business, they could file a claim against you.
That's why it's important to have consultants' insurance in place. If someone accuses you of negligence, we'll cover any legal fees or compensation claims you are required to pay. We'll take care of the risks associated with your business, so you can concentrate on achieving your clients' goals.
From HR consultants to PR consultants, business and management consultants to IT consultants, we cover many types of consultants from a wide range of industries.
We understand that every role comes with different responsibilities, so rather than offering a one-size-fits-all policy, we let you personalise your insurance. Using our online tool, you can pick and choose from the list of cover options below to build a policy that works for you.
These covers are subject to policy conditions and limits.
