Axis Specialty exiting PII market
Axis Specialty Europe SE has taken the decision not to continue as a participating insurer for Professional Indemnity Insurance (PII) after 30 November 2019.
Next steps
Naturally this is an unsettling occurrence for insured firms. However, Axis have confirmed that claims and/or circumstances should still be notified to Axis, and Axis will continue to meet its obligations as a participating insurer.
You are advised to contact your broker regarding possible alternative insurers that you may wish to seek a quote from for the 2019/2020 renewal.
