The Challenge

Legal consulting sits in a unique space, applying legal expertise without the formal protections and requirements of legal practice. This creates liability exposure that should be carefully addressed through appropriate PI coverage.

Our Approach

We work with legal consultants, compliance professionals, and non-practising lawyers across various specialisations. Our brokers understand the distinction between legal consulting and legal practice, and source coverage accordingly.

WHY TANK INSURANCE

QUESTIONS

Legal Consultant PI Insurance FAQs

PI insurance for legal consultants covers claims arising from professional negligence in legal consulting services. This includes errors in compliance advice, contract review, regulatory guidance, and corporate governance consulting that cause financial loss to clients. Coverage extends to legal defence costs and compensation for negligent advice.
Yes, PI insurance is strongly recommended for legal consultants, particularly those providing compliance, contract, or regulatory advice. Clients rely on your legal expertise to avoid penalties and make informed decisions. While requirements differ from practising solicitors, the liability exposure from legal consulting is substantial.
Key risks include legal advice errors that cause client financial losses, compliance guidance failures leading to regulatory penalties, contract review oversights missing critical terms or risks, and corporate governance advice that proves inadequate in board decisions or disputes.
