Professional Indemnity Insurance with Towergate Insurance

One policy for complete peace of mind – A message from Towergate Insurance

Professional Liability cover, available to BASES members which provides you with a single policy with a variety of cover included within it, eliminating the need for multiple policies to protect against various risks. This Professional Liability policy provides cover for:

  • Professional Indemnity
  • Public Liability
  • Product Liability
  • Libel and Slander
  • Legal Expenses

We understand that no matter how careful and diligent you are, things can go wrong. Sometimes, it’s enough for someone to merely allege that you've made a mistake, and you could find yourself needing to defend against these claims to protect your professional reputation.

Without an extended Professional Liability policy, you might have to cover substantial damages and costly legal fees on your own. Professional Liability insurance can help protect you from the financial burden and stress of potential legal actions, giving you the peace of mind to continue doing what you love with the protection you deserve.

Don’t leave your livelihood to chance, get the peace of mind you deserve and speak to us today to get a quote or to find out more on 0330 123 5810. Our team of specialist advisors are on hand to help Monday to Friday from 9am-5pm.

Alternatively, you can visit our website or for further information email us directly with any queries.

Towergate Insurance is a trading name of Advisory Insurance Brokers Limited. Registered in England with company number 4043759. Registered Address: 2 Minster Court, Mincing Lane, London EC3R 7PD. Authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
