It is crucial that your consulting engineers practice is protected against claims of financial loss resulting from your professional error, omission or negligence.

As specialist Professional Indemnity insurance brokers, Champion Professional Risks is ideally positioned to provide Professional Indemnity Insurance to Consulting Engineers.

Using only “A” rated insurers we provide solutions to the following types of practices:

• ACE (Association of Consulting Engineers)

Directors and “officers” of companies can be held personally liable for decisions they make and this liability is unlimited.

Claims can be brought for breach of duty, neglect, errors or omissions and mis-statements. Even unfounded allegations need to be defended and can prove costly.

It is therefore crucial that consulting engineers carry comprehensive Directors and Officers (D&O) Insurance (sometimes also referred to as Management Liability) to provide protection against these risks and safeguard an individual’s assets.

Champion Professional Risks have extensive experience in arranging D&O cover for consulting engineers and have direct access to specialist underwriters which means that we can arrange competitive cover which provides total peace of mind for the individuals that sit behind your practice.

White collar crime is on the increase with fraudsters becoming more innovative and finding ever more sophisticated ways to expand their criminal enterprise.

Whether frauds are “internal” (e.g. an employee embezzling company funds) or “external” (e.g.fraudsters targeting your organisation with false invoices), these risks are insurable, providing that you can demonstrate that your practice has the prerequisite controls in place to minimise risk.

Champion Professional Risks have many years experience in arranging Commercial Crime insurance for consulting engineers to protect hard earned vital funds from getting into the wrong hands.

Crime insurance can be arranged alongside, or within a Cyber Insurance policy but it requires an expert broker to dovetail these insurances together to provide total protection from criminal activity.

Consulting engineers of all shapes and sizes rely on IT and automated systems to operate effectively.

This dependency on technology creates new risks and makes solicitors and legal professionals an attractive target for cyber criminals who will seek to extort, threaten and ultimately profit from vulnerabilities within your IT infrastructure.

There are also less malign risks to consider such the exposure created by GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) which brings with it onerous obligations in respect of the handling of client data and hefty penalties for non-compliance.
