The Paralegal Professional Indemnity Insurance Scheme

Get Affordable Insurance Cover For Your Practice - Today


It is both unprofessional and extremely risky to be a legal service provider but not to have sufficient insurance cover. Sufficient cover across a wide range of risks typically costs just a few hundred pounds each year, but could save your business many thousands in the event of a problem - and may even save it from having to close down.

For this reason, we have teamed up with leading professional brokers, Caunce O'Hara, to offer you a full range of commercial insurance products designed for small to medium-sized paralegal law firms/legal service providers.

The new scheme is called The Paralegal PII Scheme.

Under the Paralegal PII Scheme, you can now buy all your insurance right now, online, in just a few minutes.

Caunce O'Hara's prices are already remarkably affordable - but we have also negotiated a further 10% discount on their normal fees if you purchase through this site.

What Insurance Should You Have?

Please note that it is a requirement of Institute membership that all paralegal law firms/sole practitioners offering their services direct to the public/business (i.e. running a paralegal law firm/practice) have at least professional indemnity insurance in place.

We cannot advise you on what cover you need. However a small-mid sized legal practice might typically consider having:

Professional Indemnity Insurance: generally this covers claims arising from clients about  work you did for them

Legal Expenses Insurance: generally this covers litigation, employment disputes, regulatory prosecutions and the like

Combined Business Insurance: generally this covers, directors' liability, business interruption, employers and public liability etc
