Shield & Stallion Insurance for What’s Next
Professional services insurance

Professional services insurance for agencies, advisors, and client contracts.

The buying problem is a client claiming your advice or deliverable caused a loss. Professional liability is the usual core, with cyber if you hold client data. Forms and exclusions vary. We transact only where licensed.

When this is the right page

Marketing, design, accounting, recruiting, and similar firms that sell judgment under a contract. If you implement software inside client systems, use the IT consulting page. If you sell a hosted product, use SaaS.

We are an independent agency. A licensed advisor reviews the file. We aim to respond within one business day. Nothing is bound until the issuing market confirms it in writing.

What we ask

  • Services you provide and whether you sign SOWs
  • Largest engagement size
  • Whether you hold confidential client data

Email a contract insurance exhibit after you submit if a client has one. A certificate does not amend the policy.

Questions we hear

Related idea, different form. Tech E&O is written for software and technology services. A professional-liability form for a design firm may not fit an implementation shop. We will not treat them as interchangeable. We aim to respond within one business day.

No. A certificate only evidences the policy. Additional insured status has to exist in the policy or an endorsement. If the market will not provide it, we will say so.

No. Binding authority sits with the issuing carrier or authorized market. We transact only where licensed.
