What is professional indemnity?

A professional indemnity policy is designed to protect against any errors & omissions that may be made, and includes extensions that are very important for creative professionals. These include breaches of infringement of intellectual property rights including copyright infringement, or any misappropriation of musical compositions, graphic material, or artwork.

We would always recommend purchasing professional indemnity. We are seeing an increase in claims relating to copyright and intellectual property. It’s very easy for a third party to bring an allegation of negligence or breach of intellectual property, even if the grounds for doing so are unfounded. Professional indemnity would provide a legal defence in such instances.
