Solicitors’ Professional Indemnity Insurance

SRA-Compliant Cover | UK Law Society Listed Broker | Fast, Competitive Quotes

Professional Indemnity Insurance (PII) is a regulatory necessity for all SRA-authorised law firms. But it’s also one of your most vital risk management tools—protecting your firm, your clients, and your reputation in the event of professional negligence, breach of duty, or error.

At Qudos Insurance Brokers, we’re proud to be a UK Law Society listed broker with a proven track record in placing high-quality, competitively priced PII cover for solicitors across England and Wales. Whether you’re setting up a new firm, preparing for your annual renewal, or require run-off cover, we provide expert advice, swift turnaround, and tailored solutions for firms of all sizes and risk profiles.

Who Needs Solicitors’ PI Insurance?

If you’re providing regulated legal services in the UK under the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA), PII isn’t optional—it’s mandatory. You must have a policy in place that complies with the SRA’s Minimum Terms and Conditions (MTCs).

We regularly assist:

  • Sole practitioners and newly authorised firms
  • Partnerships and LLPs
  • Incorporated practices and ABSs
  • Multi-branch legal firms and group structures
  • High-risk or previously declined practices
  • Firms involved in mergers, acquisitions, or closure (run-off cover)

We work with firms across all practice areas, including:

  • Conveyancing & Property – where lender panel requirements are critical
  • Family & Matrimonial Law – including financial remedy and child cases
  • Litigation & Dispute Resolution – where claims can be high-value and complex
  • Immigration Law – with growing regulatory scrutiny
  • Commercial, Corporate & Contract Law
  • Criminal Defence, Personal Injury, and Employment Law

What Does Solicitors’ PII Cover?

A robust Solicitors’ PI policy will protect your firm against claims arising from:

  • Alleged negligence or mistakes in legal advice
  • Breach of professional duty or missed deadlines
  • Inaccurate drafting of contracts, leases, or settlement terms
  • Loss of documents, deeds, or digital data
  • Breach of confidentiality or GDPR
  • Conveyancing errors, including title issues or unregistered charges
  • Allegations of fraud or dishonesty by employees (subject to terms)

All cover is provided on a civil liability basis in accordance with SRA MTCs, ensuring compliance with your regulatory obligations.

We also support firms in financial difficulty or with claims histories, offering access to specialist markets and practical renewal guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. All SRA-regulated firms must hold valid PII that complies with the SRA’s Minimum Terms and Conditions.

  • £2 million: for traditional partnerships or LLPs
  • £3 million: for incorporated firms (Ltd or ABS)
    Note: Some lender panels or clients may require higher limits.

Ideally 6–8 weeks before your renewal date—especially in peak season (June to October). Starting early can help secure better premiums and avoid last-minute rejections.

We assist new firms with:

  • PII quote and cover
  • SRA authorisation support
  • COLP/COFA structure advice
  • Professional undertakings and policyholder responsibilities

If your firm closes, the SRA requires you to maintain 6 years of run-off cover to protect against claims arising after cessation. This can be a one-off payment or added annually. We provide guidance and quotes.
