Professional Liability addresses situations where professionals (including attorneys, accountants, engineers, architects, insurance brokers/agents, and corporate officers and directors) are exposed to liability as a result of errors, negligent acts, or omissions alleged to be committed in the performance of their services.
By its nature, the Professional Liability practice area encompasses unique sensitivities. Not only can an adverse judgment result in material financial harm to the defending person or entity, but reputational damage and impaired future earnings are also at stake.
This is why you need MCB on your side.
