Professional Indemnity

Professional Indemnity Insurance (PII) is a critical form of liability insurance that offers financial protection to professionals and businesses that provide expert advice or services. It covers the cost of legal defence and any resulting liability costs. The new Insurance Act (NIIRA 2025) mandates certain sectors to maintain PI cover, such as the health and aviation sectors, while other areas like construction will also benefit from the Act's focus on professional valuation for building insurance.

Valuation for Building Insurance

  • NIIRA 2025 emphasizes the importance of professional valuations to determine accurate reinstatement and indemnity values for buildings.

  • This ensures fair compensation in the event of a loss and protects investments.
