As a freelancer, there are a number of risks you face in your day-to-day work that may result in you facing legal action and financial losses.

You might unintentionally make a mistake in a piece of work or a visitor to your workplace may have an accident. Even if you’ve done nothing wrong at all, if a difficult client tries to make a claim against you, you could be left having to cover the cost of expensive legal fees.

In many cases, claims can be a stressful and unpleasant experience. In this webinar, Zubair Ahmed and Jake Falconer from Markel Direct, IPSE’s liability insurance partner, explain how you can try to prevent claims and protect yourself against them.

Join us to discuss:

• Common claims they see made against freelancers
• Legal risks freelancers face
• Real-life freelance claims examples – including negligence, injury and cyber claims
• Best practice for avoiding claims and legal action
• How insurance can help freelancers
• The types of insurance available to freelancers and what they protect against

Questions

There will be plenty of opportunity to ask questions during the webinar but you can also submit questions in advance when you register.
