Small Pii

Small solicitor firms with between one and four partners can take advantage of a new direct route to professional indemnity insurance cover, Chancery Pii, as part of a joint venture between the Law Society and Miller Insurance Services LLP.

The insurers will be rated at least A- (Standard & Poor’s) or equivalent and will be drawn from a panel. However, Chancery Pii does not provide a broker service or any advisory services, and does not accept enquiries from brokers, pay broker commissions or charge management fees.
