Professional indemnity
Professional indemnity insurance will protect you against the mistakes you make in the course of your work for clients.
As a professional, you owe a legal 'duty of care' to your clients. If you breach that duty of care, your client can claim compensation from you for the losses and expenses caused by your negligence.
Professional indemnity insurance will cover the cost of defending any allegations or claims made against you, so you won't have to pay lawyers' fees. If you're in the wrong, the insurer will either pay the cost of putting your mistake right, or pay compensation on your behalf.
