Professional Liability Insurance

Professional liability insurance, sometimes known as professional indemnity insurance, is essential for any business or self-employed individual offering specialized services or consulting in Canada. This insurance protects against claims arising from errors, omissions, negligence, or professional misconduct that could cause financial, material, or reputational harm to a client. 

In Canada, many regulated professions legally require this coverage to operate, particularly in the fields of law, accounting, financial services, architecture, and consulting engineering. Even when it is not mandatory, obtaining this insurance is a strategic decision to secure your business activities and safeguard your professional reputation.
