Professional services exclusion in admitted P&C products

Coverage intent

A professional services exclusion limits coverage for injury, damage, or loss arising from specified professional acts, services, advice, or omissions.

Coverage impact

Professional services wording separates general liability coverage from professional liability exposure. The scope of scheduled services, exceptions, and carvebacks can materially change the coverage boundary.
