Professional Indemnity


Expert protection for emerging and traditional professions


CNA Europe provides companies with innovative ways to manage the growing liability risks they face. Our insurance products and programmes are designed to minimize potential risks by closely matching coverages to specific needs.


CNA has over 100 years’ experience of underwriting Professional Liability coverages in the United States and we continue to utilise and build upon this experience across Europe. We provide a number of industry specific products underwritten by highly experienced local underwriters with capacity available up to £5M / €7.5M or equivalent.


Our coverage spans a broad range, from small to mid-sized and larger domestic companies and from sole practitioners to major nationals with overseas exposures.


Our Professional Indemnity offerings fall into the following categories:


Regulated Professions – Our products protect companies and individuals against loss (damages and defence costs) resulting from acts, errors or omissions in their performance of professional duties. Common claims either from regulators, customers or other third parties include negligence, misrepresentation, design error, violation of good faith and fair dealing and inaccurate advice. We ensure that all of the products we provide afford coverage that allows the insured to comply with local legal and/or regulatory requirements.


Non Regulated Professions – These ‘non standard’ professions include media, technology, telecommunications, management and recruitment consultants and others. Our specialist underwriting teams understand the changing nature of these businesses, enabling them to accurately assess the actual and potential risks involved.


The Products are underwritten from our offices in Belgium, Denmark, France, Italy, Sweden (also for Norway), The Netherlands and the United Kingdom.


They are available on a Freedom of Services basis in all other EU Member States.
