Consultants provide specialized knowledge, and in the eyes of the law, that knowledge is a "Professional Service." If your advice causes a client to lose money, you can be held liable for their economic losses.
The Core 3 Policies for Consultants
- Professional Liability (E&O): Your most critical coverage. It defends you against claims of bad advice or failed project delivery.
- Cyber Liability: Since most consultants handle client data (financials, strategy), a data breach is a massive risk.
- General Liability: Essential if you have an office where clients visit or if you ever visit a client's job site.
