Instead of sole proprietorships purchasing their own professional liability insurance, we appoint brokers and give them instructions via the main policy renewal conditions for each year of insurance. The company takes out professional liability insurance for all Scottish lawyers in private practice. Known as the main policy, it provides insurance against losses caused by a lawyer`s negligence. Scottish lawyers in private practice have professional liability insurance for claims against them. This insurance means that if you make a valid negligence claim against a lawyer, that claim will be paid – even if the lawyer is no longer in practice, is no longer solvent, or cannot be located. The master policy, like any other insurance plan, is not a no-fault compensation system. It covers Scottish lawyers in Scottish law firms. The Master Policy is the compulsory professional liability insurance that covers all Scottish lawyers in private practice. The Law Society organizes the main policy. Claims are handled by policy umbrella insurers. The insurance offers cover of up to £2 million for a claim. All law firms must have professional liability insurance, and we require confirmation that the insurance is in place prior to certificate renewal in October.
