Solicitors Professional Indemnity (PI) Insurance
By lawyers, for lawyers
A solicitor’s reputation depends on their ability to anticipate challenges to come. Offering clients sound counsel, informed by deep experience. We understand this instinctively because, at Travelers, our risk managers and claims professionals are lawyers themselves. It’s given us unique insight that has made us one of the UK's leading solicitors' professional indemnity insurers. With our own in-house law firm, Travelers Legal, we are uniquely positioned to provide PI insurance for law firms and solicitors that offers seamless support, service and true partnership. Because offering strong guidance often involves taking risks, Travelers is here to protect legal professionals when they do – today and into the future.

Case study
A legal practice turned to Travelers First Recovery upon extensive flood damage
‘Our office in Birmingham was affected by a large flood from a roof water tank failure.’
When flood damage rendered its existing office building unusable, this legal practice looked to Travelers First Recovery service for a swift relocation.
A senior manager attached to this practice was delighted with their Travelers experience:
‘We contacted First Recovery, and within two hours we were given a choice of locations nearby to accommodate more than 50 people, into one of which we moved our staff the next day whilst remediation work began.’
The practice was delighted with the timely action taken by First Recovery to help keep its daily operations active amidst ongoing remediation work.
‘Their service was fast and efficient, and we were grateful to have this element of our recovery handled so quickly.’
