INSURANCE FOR MANAGEMENT CONSULTANTS & BUSINESS ADVISORS

Protecting Consultants Who Advise, Plan & Transform Businesses

As a management consultant, your advice can influence strategy, investment, restructuring, cost savings, technology choices and organisational change. If a project underperforms or a recommendation is challenged, clients may allege that your advice caused financial loss.

Management Consultant Insurance protects independent consultants, boutique firms and contractor consultants against claims of professional negligence, breach of contract, misrepresentation and financial loss arising from your services.
