 Professional Liability Insurance Providers for Architects and Engineers in the U.S. and U.K.

 
Professional Liability Insurance What sets a/e ProNet brokers apart from the rest is our relationship with the leading professional liability insurance providers.  As independent brokers, we are not restricted by quotas and obligations dictated by any one insurance company, and are therefore free to represent the best interests of our clients.

a/e ProNet was founded in 1988 in order to establish an independent source of professional liability insurance information
for architects, engineers, consultants, and design professionals. Today, with member offices across the U.S. and in the U.K., we offer knowledge, expertise and a team that understands your business.

If you have an a/e ProNet broker, you have the power and experience of our whole organization operating on your behalf at every renewal.

"Your broker can be as important to the management of your practice as your accountant or your attorney."
– David W. Lakamp, Founding Member
 

 News & New Additions

 
 

 a/e ProNet Offers More Than Professional Liability Insurance

 

a/e ProNet brokers offer much more than professional liability insurance (E&O Insurance) placement for architects, engineers, consultants, and design professionals. We negotiate on your behalf for low premiums and broad coverage. In addition we offer numerous client services, including the following:

  • Risk Management Assistance: This includes a thorough review of your company’s practices to identify potential exposure. We also provide extensive risk management resources published by a/e ProNet, as well as those offered by specialized insurance programs catering to design professionals. Among the publications and resources offered on our website are our ProNet Practice Notes, ProNet Guest Essays, and ProNetwork Newsletters.
  •  
  • Property and Casualty Insurance Programs: Insuring your business is necessary and complex, but we try to make the process straight-forward. We offer access to exemplary property and casualty insurance programs to address the needs of architects, engineers, and other design professionals and consultants. These include Business Owners Policies (Commercial General Liability Insurance and Business Property Insurance), Umbrella Liability Insurance, Commercial Auto Liability Insurance, Employment Practices Liability Insurance, Workers’ Compensation, and much more. 
  •  
  • Loss Prevention Practices Seminars: These seminars may be conducted in-house or offered on a regional basis for you and your employees. Seminars provide excellent opportunities to identify and discuss areas of your practice that expose you to unnecessary risk. The seminars and publications we provide are meant to help you reduce and/or eliminate that risk.
  •  
  • Contract Review: Along with connecting your firm with contract review services available from insurance companies, most a/e ProNet brokers provide this invaluable service directly. Contracts often contain provisions that significantly affect the liability of your firm. We review your contracts and work with you to eliminate or modify uninsurable provisions.
  •  
  • Claims Assistance: In the event of a claim involving your firm, we will help you understand what to expect from the process. a/e ProNet brokers also have relationships with a/e specialist attorneys, and we can advise you in the selection of counsel. Remember that the best way to prepare for any claim is by properly insuring your firm beforehand. 
     
  • Premium Financing: Many premium finance companies are eager to do business with a/e ProNet members, so we are able to negotiate highly competitive financing terms for our clients.
  •  
  • Certificates of Insurance: We understand the insurance requirements design professionals are faced with in almost every professional services agreement, and we understand the importance of issuing certificates promptly and efficiently. 
 We are specialists in our field and we work hard to make your life easier.
