Target Audience

This seminar is designed for anyone involved in placing, servicing or managing Professional Indemnity insurance. Whether you are building your technical knowledge or looking to refresh your understanding of Professional Indemnity, this practical session provides valuable insights into how policies are structured, underwritten and ultimately respond when a claim occurs.

Overview

This practical seminar follows the life of a Professional Indemnity claim from the moment an allegation is made through to its resolution. Guided by a case study, participants will hear from three industry experts, each stepping into the story at the point where they become involved.

Beginning with the broker, the scenario unfolds as each presenter explains their role, the decisions they make, the questions they ask and the challenges they face. Participants will gain a practical understanding of Professional Indemnity insurance, claims-made policies, underwriting considerations and how a defence lawyer manages a claim once legal proceedings commence. The session concludes with all speakers coming together for a moderated panel discussion and audience Q&A.

Following the educational program, attendees are invited to continue the conversation over networking drinks and nibbles. This relaxed setting provides an opportunity to connect with fellow brokers, underwriters and industry specialists, discuss the case study in greater depth and build valuable professional relationships across South Australia's insurance community.
