Future-Proof Your Practice with the Right Cover
As an architect, your responsibility to past projects doesn’t end when you retire or step away from your practice. Claims can arise years down the line, making run-off cover an essential safeguard. Without it, you could be personally liable for legal costs and damages.
Why Do You Need Run-Off Cover?
Even after you close your firm, past projects remain at risk of professional indemnity claims. Run-off cover ensures you’re protected against potential claims of negligence, design flaws, or contractual disputes that might surface years later.
Legal Protection
Shields you from claims related to past work.
Peace of Mind
Ensures financial security after retirement.
Client Reassurance
Demonstrates professionalism and responsible planning.
Common Misconceptions About Run-Off Cover
“Run-off cover is too expensive.”
Our scheme is designed to provide cost-effective solutions, ensuring architects get the coverage they need without unnecessary expense.
“My previous insurance will cover me.”
Most policies require active renewal. If you don’t arrange run-off cover, you won’t be protected against future claims.
