Regardless of whether you're a product specialist at a small firm or managing a large team of software developers, you could face legal action if a client believes you've made a mistake or left out critical information on a project.
Many computer consultants and tech companies rely on Commercial General Liability or IT insurance. Unfortunately, these policies usually don’t cover claims related to professional services or advice. As a result, you could be held legally and financially responsible for errors or omissions in your work.
