News and Insights

The Management Liability (ML) Insurance market continues to favour clients. In most cases, premiums are either reducing or holding stable – a product of the ample capacity available for most risks. But with several insurers pointing to the arrival of the bottom of the market cycle, premiums could be set to edge upwards in the medium term.

In the meantime, insurers are focused on defending their premium pool. To retain clients, they continue to seek ways to differentiate their offering. This includes broadening coverage, such as through “any one claim” limits, increasing sub-limits, removing or reducing the scope of additional restrictions, and offering Long Term Agreements (LTAs).Management Liability Market Update: Q3 2025

Making a successful transition from artist to artist’s estate

Conversations about legacy can feel uncomfortable, but they are essential. Artists should begin discussing their estate – with both family members and experienced professionals – as early as possible to ensure a smooth transition. To build a robust legacy, the core elements of an estate must be assessed, including key insurance considerations.

What is Professional Indemnity Insurance?

Every professional knows the feeling: a client pushing for tighter deadlines, the contract that’s just a little too heavy handed, or the nagging worry that a small oversight today could snowball into a costly dispute tomorrow. Even the most diligent work can be challenged – whether through allegations of negligence, contractual penalties, or claims that stretch far beyond what you thought you’d agreed.

That’s where Professional Indemnity Insurance (PII) comes in. It acts as a safety net, stepping in when mistakes, misunderstandings, or disputes threaten to become financial or reputational crises. Whether protecting against defending spurious claims, or covering genuine errors, PII gives you the confidence to focus on your work.

Below, we unpack how PII works in practice: including the scope of cover, exclusions, defence costs, and the important question of limits and excesses.Every professional knows the feeling: a client pushing for tighter deadlines, the contract that’s just a little too heavy handed, or the nagging worry that a small oversight today could snowball into a costly dispute tomorrow.
