Reputable

One dedicated risk advisor to help you address your office insurance needs. 

Your mandatory PII insurance 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 mandatory 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. 

Your mandatory PII policy provides indemnity for errors/omissions as a lawyer, whereas Marsh’s Office Protect, specially designed for law firms, is a Property and Casualty Insurance policy that provides insurance coverage 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, the mandatory basic policy, with add-on coverages such as All Risk, Burglary, Money, Fidelity Guarantee, Plate Glass, and Employer’s Liability, along with Electronic Equipment, Public Liability and Group Personal Accident.  

Office Protect: Designed specifically for law firms

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. 

Additional benefits of Office Protect

Aside from comprehensive coverage and flexibility, Marsh Office Protect can benefit you in the following ways:

  1. Easy application: As you are already under the PII scheme, you are entitled to purchase a suite of coverages provided under Office Protect and will receive the policy instantly upon payment (via FPX), saving you the administrative hassle and lengthy approval process of having to buy and manage multiple policies.
  2. Enabling Business Continuity Planning (BCP): Comprehensive insurance coverage is a foundation for good business continuity planning for the legal profession to safeguard a firm's stability, reputation, and operations during unexpected events, such as natural disasters or fires.
  3. Seamless claims processing: Streamlined claims process that is both hassle-free and fast-tracked.
