Confirmation of cover
Confirming cover online
Confirmation of cover for the 2025/2026 indemnity period must be provided to the Law Society (through the Law Society’s online confirmation of cover system) no later than close of business on 5 December 2025.
Requirements
Confirmation must include your policy number, and confirmation of cover cannot be provided until the policy is actually in place. It is the statutory responsibility of the solicitor firm to ensure that such confirmation of cover is provided to the Law Society in the required online form.
It is noted that some firms who have confirmed PII cover to the Law Society during 2025 have a coverage period that extends past 30 November 2024 (variable renewal date). Such firms are still required to re-confirm cover for 2024/2025 with the Law Society by 5 December 2025.
Please note that your firm will not be reflected as having PII in place on the Law Society’s “Find a Firm” online search facility until the Law Society has received the required online confirmation of cover and the Law Society’s system has been updated.
Please note that cover must be provided through the Law Society’s online portal by your broker and will not be accepted in hard or soft copy. Firms are advised to ask your broker for a copy of the Law Society’s email confirmation to ensure that the broker has lodged cover through the Law Society’s online portal on or before close of business on 5 December 2024.
If any firm has a new coverage period commencing prior to 1 December 2024, you are required to ensure that your broker provides confirmation of cover through the Law Society’s online portal within three working days of the date of commencement of your cover, and re-confirms the cover through the Law Society’s online portal on or before 5 December 2024.
If your cover commences after 1 December 2025, you are required to ensure that your broker provides confirmation of cover through the online portal within 3 working days of the date of commencement of your cover. If you have any queries, please email piihelpline@lawsociety.ie.
