Having a Berkley Architects, Engineers & Consultants Professional Liability Policy means that you’re never truly alone. Even when you’re dealing with a situation that isn’t yet a formal claim, but is giving you an uncomfortable feeling that it may soon become one, Berkley Alliance Managers is here for you!

We all know that issues on projects arise every day and working your way through them is just part of doing business in the design and construction world. But sometimes our policyholders are presented with circumstances that give them pause and where they might like to have some guidance.

Maybe you’ve received a subpoena for your records or deposition. Or perhaps there’s been an accident at the job site and parties are starting to point fingers at your work product as a potential cause. Maybe you’ve encountered certain unanticipated conditions on a job site that will increase costs and it appears that those costs may be sought from you. Or perhaps a local inspector or government agency is delaying the project by refusing to approve your work. These are all potential issues where the Free Claim Prevention Assistance coverage on the Berkley Architects Engineers & Consultants Professional Liability Policy could be used to help a policyholder avoid any missteps and guide the matter away from a claim or lawsuit.
