Great professional insurance made simple

From freelancers to established management consulting firms, anyone offering professional services risks claims of negligence when the advice or service given fails to meet client expectations. That’s where we come in – from claims that can range from breach of contract to defamation to IP infringement, at RSA we have the expertise and know-how to make sure your business is covered.
