Alliance Risk vs Embroker Professional Liability (E&O) Insurance

Alliance Risk places professional liability (errors and omissions, or E&O) coverage as a broker, saying it backs placements with risk-specific underwriting input and carrier partnerships rather than underwriting the policy itself. ³Company-reported. Professional liability product page.

Embroker sells professional liability, also called errors and omissions insurance, as a standalone product for professional-services businesses, separate from its lawyers professional liability program and its bundled technology E&O/cyber product. ⁷Company-reported. Product-page description; not a statement about the issuing insurer.

The reviewed professional liability page does not name the insurer that would issue a policy; it refers generally to 'strong carrier partnerships' without identifying a specific carrier. ³Not publicly disclosed. Professional liability product page as read on 2026-09-23.

Alliance Risk targets professional liability at consultants and advisory firms, accountants and tax professionals, architects and engineers, real estate and insurance agents and brokers, marketing and PR agencies, IT and technology consultants, healthcare providers, and financial planners and investment advisors. ³Company-reported. Professional liability product page; eligibility for a particular company depends on underwriting.

Embroker markets the policy to anyone who provides professional advice or services for a fee, listing accountants, bookkeepers, consultants, real estate agents, home inspectors, and IT and healthcare professionals as example buyers, while noting lawyers and doctors typically use specialized malpractice coverage instead. ⁷Company-reported. Product-page eligibility and industry-example sections; not a guarantee of coverage for a particular business.

Alliance Risk lists negligent acts or omissions, breach of contract, misrepresentation, and missed deadlines as typically covered, and says bodily injury or property damage, intentional wrongdoing or fraud, employment disputes, cyber incidents, and prior known claims are excluded and belong to other lines such as general liability, EPLI or cyber liability. ³Company-reported. Professional liability product page; coverage and exclusions described in general terms, subject to the policy as issued.

Embroker lists coverage for claims of errors, omissions or negligence, failing to meet expected standards or deadlines, false or misleading statements, breach of contractual obligations, and attorney fees from covered claims. ⁷Company-reported. Product-page What's covered section; the issued policy and declarations control.

Embroker says the policy does not cover personal injury or property damage (handled by general liability), cyberattacks and data breaches (some tech E&O policies offer limited cyber coverage, but full protection needs a separate cyber policy), employee injuries, or employee discrimination claims (handled by EPLI). ⁷Company-reported. Product-page What's not included and 'Do I need Professional Liability insurance if I already have General Liability coverage?' sections.

The reviewed professional liability page gives cost ranges by firm size (for example, solo practitioners at $500-$3,000 a year up to mid-sized to large firms at $10,000-$50,000-plus) but does not publish specific coverage limits, retentions or deductible amounts for this line. ³Not found in reviewed sources. Professional liability product page as read on 2026-09-23; cost figures are illustrative premium estimates, not published limits.

Embroker says the policy carries a deductible, that a higher deductible generally lowers the premium, and that buyers can choose an aggregate (once-annually capped) deductible or a first-dollar-defense option that applies the deductible only to damages, not legal costs. ⁷Company-reported. Product-page 'Does it have a deductible?' section; specific dollar limits and deductible amounts are not published and depend on underwriting.

Alliance Risk describes its approach to professional liability as including industry-specific risk reviews, claims-trend analysis, customized policy language, review of client contracts to limit personal exposure, and expertise structuring claims-made policies including tail coverage, prior acts and retroactive dates. ³Company-reported.
