The interpretation of Legal Services in Bar Mutual's Terms of Cover specifically excludes certain activities such as lecturing in or teaching law or writing or editing law books or reports; examining free of charge newspapers and other publications for libel, breach of copyright, contempt of court and the like; and giving advice on legal matters free to a friend. We can provide this cover on an individual or chambers-wide basis. Click here to download a proposal form.

Arbitrators, Mediators & Conciliators Insurance

Many chambers offer the services of specialist Arbitrators and Mediators who may not be practising barristers. We are able to provide worldwide cover for these specialists on a full Civil Liability basis, subject to completion of a specifically tailored proposal form. Click here to download a proposal form.

Directors' & Officers' Liability Insurance for Service Companies

Practice Managers, Chambers Directors and other administrative staff may require a separate PI policy to protect them against claims. Where there is a service company in operation a combined PI and Directors' & Officers' policy may be more appropriate. Please contact us for further information.

Chambers' Contents and Combined Liability Insurance

We have the backing of Hiscox Insurance Company, the UK's leading specialist insurer to cover all the general insurance needs of your Chamber. This includes cover on an all risks basis including full theft cover, cover for staff dishonesty, cover for artwork, cover for Employers & Public Liability & Business Interruption & Terrorism.

Income Protection Insurance

Income Protection Insurance is an insurance contract that replaces a proportion of a member's earnings if they were unable to work due to illness or injury. Income Protection Insurance can be undertaken on an individual or a group basis, depending on your requirements. This service is provided via our specialist Financial Services partner, Jobson James Financial Services Ltd . Click here to contact Richard Venner.
