How would you react if a client alleged that your advice was incorrect and caused them a financial loss?
And what if the client threatened legal proceedings?

Software developers professional indemnity insurance provides cover for “professions”, those whom provide specialist advice, designs, plans or recommendations. It protects you against the cost of compensation to clients if your professional advice has causes them to lose money.
