Solicitors Professional Indemnity
Specialist PI for law firms — from sole practitioners to multi-partner practices. We know the SRA Minimum Terms inside out and the markets that write them.
Why Birchin
Why Birchin for solicitors.
SRA-fluent
We know the Minimum Terms, the participating insurers, and what moves premium on a solicitors' risk.
Senior placement
Your renewal is handled by a senior broker — not a templated submission run by a junior.
Run-off-ready
We plan run-off properly, years ahead, so retirement and exits don't come with a nasty surprise.
What it covers
The cover, in detail.
- Civil liability arising from the provision of legal services

- Run-off cover compliant with SRA Minimum Terms (six years)

- Optional excess-layer cover above the minimum £2m / £3m
How to get a quote
Start 90 days before renewal.
