Risk management
Practice Guides
Our suite of over 50 Practice Guides provides information, practical solutions and example contract clauses exclusively for Planned Cover professional indemnity insurance clients.
Downloadable at your convenience with a Planned Cover client login, the Practice Guides are a valuable resource to introduce junior staff to advanced industry issues, and to support experienced staff in developing systems and strategies to address common risks.
On topics including “Time, Program and Delays”, “Novation”, “Unfair Contract Terms”, “Alliances” and “Joint Ventures”, each Guide provides 1 – 5 pages of information in clearly headed sections. They are written by our legally qualified risk managers in consultation with the Planned Cover broking team.
These are just a few of the questions answered in our Practice Guides:
-
- How can we reduce our risk exposure when engaging sub-consultants? (“Liability for Sub-consultants”)
- Do contractual limits of liability or professional standards schemes offer us protection? (“Limitation of Liability Clauses”)
- Who holds moral rights and copyright in design documents? (“Copyright and Moral Rights”)
- How can we address the risk of unauthorised changes to our design documents (“Electronic Documents Checklist” and “Data Transfer Agreements”)
- What is the difference between litigation, arbitration and expert determination (“Dispute Resolution”)
- How can we safely terminate our services on a project? (“Terminating Your Services”)
