Typical Public Relations Consultancy Risks

Claims can involve alleged poor communications advice, reputational harm, inaccurate statements, missed campaign deadlines, media handling disputes, disclosure of confidential information, copyright or image-use allegations, defamation concerns, data breaches or client financial-loss claims.

Professional Indemnity and Media Liability

Professional indemnity can help where a client alleges your public relations consultancy work caused financial loss. Media liability may also be relevant where your work includes written content, press material, public statements, campaign copy or published media. Insurers will usually want to understand your services, client sectors, crisis work, approval controls, contract terms and previous claims history.

Reputation, Crisis Work and Client Data

PR consultants often work with sensitive announcements, embargoed information, executive communications, press lists, customer data and crisis response plans. Tell insurers whether you publish content directly, provide crisis communications, manage media relationships, handle personal data or advise regulated clients, because those details can affect the cover and limits needed.
