Professional Indemnity Insurance for Law Firms

The Law Society of Singapore Professional Indemnity Insurance (PII) is a compulsory scheme that indemnifies each member of the profession against any civil liability claims arising from their legal practice.

Professional Indemnity Insurance is a form of liability cover, giving you protection in the event of claims by a third party for professional negligence. The policy covers claims arising from the provision of professional services, such as design, advice and specifications, and differs from product liability in that it rather than the sale of physical products. In addition to negligence, claims may include error, unintentional breach of intellectual property rights, and loss of documents or data, as well as damages and the legal fees and costs incurred in the defence of a claim.
