Your PII policy covers your professional liability as a lawyer. You can purchase additional coverage for your office premises, equipment, employees etc.

Growing your legal practice comes with recognising the multiple risk factors that can disrupt the business, inflict significant financial losses, and jeopardise the entire practice. Marsh Office Protect complements your PII policy with a suite of insurance coverages against a wide spectrum of risks including property loss and damage, while providing the flexibility and ease of management associated with standalone policies.

Marsh’s Office Protect, specially designed for law firms, is a Property and Casualty Insurance policy that provides insurance coverages for law books, electronic equipment, fidelity guarantee, money transit, and employer's liability, as well as coverage for losses due to office damages and interruptions. Law firms can pair Fire with add-on coverages such as All Risk, Burglary, Money, Fidelity Guarantee, Plate Glass, Employer’s Liability, along with Electronic Equipment, Public Liability, and Group Personal Accident.

Unlike generic and standalone insurance options, Marsh Office Protect is a policy developed based on a deep understanding of the legal industry’s dynamics and needs. Our advisors in Marsh Malaysia are available to offer guidance and support in tailoring the right coverage to address the unique needs of the legal profession.
