Join us for an engaging discussion on one of the most pressing challenges in the construction industry—coverage issues in professional indemnity (PI) claims. From late notifications and policy interpretation disputes to exclusions for defective design and workmanship, these complexities can significantly impact underwriting decisions and claims outcomes.

We’ll also examine emerging risks, such as cladding defects, multi-party litigation, and overlapping contractual indemnities, that are reshaping the PI landscape.

Through real-life scenarios, we’ll highlight the consequences these disputes pose for insurers and insureds alike. Finally, we’ll share practical strategies for proactive risk management to help navigate these challenges.
