Professional liability insurance will protect you against lawsuits arising from your actual professional services rendered.

Errors and Omissions Liability Insurance for tech companies?

E&O Insurance for tech companies (AKA Professional liability insurance) is important because the general liability and BOP policies do not include any coverage for claims arising out of professional services rendered.
