What you get with Clapton

Limits set against real exposure

Based on your contract values and the worst realistic claim — not a guess.

Claims-made cover, explained

Retroactive dates and run-off set up correctly — the two places PI most often fails.

Renewal presentations that work

A well-prepared proposal keeps premiums sensible, even in a hard market.

Questions

Professional Indemnity: the questions we're asked

PI is claims-made: a policy must be live when the claim arrives, not when the work was done. Run-off cover protects you for years after closing.

Enough for the largest realistic claim plus defence costs — often dictated by client contracts or your regulator. We'll benchmark it for you.

Only if the retroactive date allows it. We check this on every placement and every switch.
