Professional indemnity Insurance Scheme

In response to members needs, we undertook a survey in December 2008 on what our membership might want from Professional Indemnity insurance.

Working with a Lloyd's of London broker (Lothbury UK) and a multinational insurance company (QBE) we looked at the feasibility of providing Institute members with competitive Professional Indemnity insurance rates globally.

In February 2009 we were pleased to launch the PI insurance scheme for CIArb members, where members of the Institute - whether they are arbitrators, mediators or adjudicators - can access competitive rates of insurance cover from annual premium rates as low as £250 (plus local tax as applicable).

Based on a simple system of domicile#, annual fees and limit required, a quote can be provided very quickly, and cover can be arranged upon a simple proposal form being submitted.
