Professional indemnity insurance protects you against the legal and compensation costs of defending that claim, so one dispute does not threaten your business or your reputation.   ![Professional at desk reviewing paperwork](https://www.coverbuddies.com/hubfs/Professional%20Indemnity%206.png)   [GET A PROFESSIONAL INDEMNITY QUOTE](https://www.coverbuddies.com/request-information-commercial?hsLang=en)       ## What it covers Also called errors and omissions (E&O) or professional liability insurance, this covers claims arising from the advice or services you provide. It typically pays legal defence costs and any compensation or settlement owed. ## Who typically needs it Any professional who gives advice or services for a fee, including consultants, architects, engineers, IT professionals and marketing or PR practitioners. ## Why it matters - **Financial protection:** legal defence alone can be costly, even if a claim is ultimately unfounded. - **Often required by contract:** many clients ask for proof of cover before engaging a professional. - **Protects your reputation:** shows clients you take accountability for your advice seriously. ## How Cover Buddies can help We help you compare options and set up the right policy for your profession, so you deal with one team instead of several insurers. ## Common questions ### Is this the same as public liability? No. Public liability covers physical injury or property damage; professional indemnity covers financial loss from your advice or service. ### Do I need it if I rarely make mistakes? Yes — a single dispute, even a baseless one, can be costly to defend. ### What affects the cost? Your profession, claims history and the level of cover you choose.   Read our full guide: [Understanding Professional Indemnity Insurance](https://www.coverbuddies.com/en/knowledge-hub/what-is-professional-indemnity-insurance?hsLang=en).
