The placement brief.

Published scope

  • The December 2025 MPL brochure describes third-party economic/financial loss arising from errors or omissions in the insured professional services. [1]
  • The brochure identifies a claims-made policy, a retroactive date and an industry-services endorsement selected by profession. [1]
  • The brochure's profession list includes consultants, accountants, bookkeepers, technology services, designers and other services; listed occupations remain subject to operations-specific eligibility and exclusions. [1]

Limits, exclusions and conditions

  • The December 2025 brochure lists DC, Illinois, Massachusetts, Montana, North Dakota and Virginia as unavailable. This is dated published guidance, not a current quote guarantee. [1] [3]
  • The brochure lists each-claim limits of $25,000, $50,000, $250,000, $500,000 and $1 million. Aggregate limits are twice the each-claim limit, except the $1 million limit has a three-times aggregate. Availability varies by state and industry. [1]
  • Covered work must be after the policy's retroactive date and claims must meet the policy's reporting requirements. The brochure describes purchasing prior-acts coverage up to six years before inception; without prior acts, the retroactive date is the effective date. [1]
  • The basic ERP is 60 days. The brochure describes optional ERPs in yearly increments of one through six years when the policy cancels midterm or expires without renewal. [1]
  • The base-form discussion excludes bodily injury/property damage, pollution, failure to protect personally identifiable information and certain contract liabilities, among other exclusions. Do not treat MPL as a substitute for GL or cyber. [1]
  • The brochure lists A&E and insurance agents among professions, while its base-exclusion discussion excludes architect/engineer and insurance-agent/broker services. The selected endorsement's effect is unresolved in the brochure and must be checked before representing those services as covered. [1]
  • Profession-specific exclusions include drone work for photographers, hearing-test centers for audiologists, and specified beauty operations such as injections, laser treatments, permanent makeup, tattoos, cryotherapy and chemical peels over 30% strength. [1]
What still needs confirmation
  • The brochure does not supply a complete new-business submission checklist or a verified blank application for every profession.
  • Obtain the offered industry-services endorsement and base form to resolve the listed-profession/excluded-service conflict; do not infer a carveback.
  • Confirm current state/profession eligibility and the actual insurer, deductible, defense treatment and coverage dates on the proposal.
  • The brochure is currently linked in producer resources but remains a December 2025 document.

Hedge’s take

Coterie professional liability is worth reviewing when a service business needs protection against client financial-loss allegations. The service definition and coverage dates deserve as much attention as the limit: they determine which work and claims the policy can address.

The detail that can change the fit

The brochure’s profession list is not blanket coverage for all services. Read the selected industry endorsement and base exclusions together, and confirm current state availability.

Hedge’s analysis of the published information, not a rating or claims-service assessment. Evidence: [1]

Beyond the product list

What stands out, and why it matters.

A claim and the underlying work can happen in different years.

The brochure describes claims-made coverage for reported claims involving work after the retroactive date. [1]

Compare the proposed date with the expiring policy. An apparently similar replacement can leave earlier work outside scope or introduce a reporting gap if the continuity details are missed.

Tail coverage is an option to evaluate, not an automatic renewal.

Coterie describes a basic 60-day extended-reporting period and optional longer reporting periods in the brochure. [1]

Ask when an ERP is available, what it costs and exactly what it permits reporting. This matters when a client retires, changes carriers or discontinues a service but can still receive later demands.

The professional-services endorsement does important work.

The brochure lists an industry-services endorsement along with service-specific and base-form exclusions. [1]

Provide contracts and examples of deliverables. Ask how the actual endorsement addresses the work, rather than concluding that every activity is insured because the occupation appears in an appetite list. The brochure lists architects/engineers and insurance agents but also excludes those services in its base-form discussion; check the selected industry endorsement before describing how that tension is resolved.

Published scope

The product facts behind the view.

  • Coterie’s miscellaneous professional liability brochure addresses third-party financial loss arising from errors or omissions in professional services. [1]
  • The described policy is claims made, with a retroactive date and extended-reporting provisions. [1]
  • The brochure lists an industry-services endorsement and service-specific restrictions; the profession label alone does not establish covered services. [1]
  • The December 2025 brochure lists DC, IL, MA, MT, ND and VA as unavailable for MPL. Check current state and profession eligibility. [1]

Pressure-test the proposal

Questions to resolve before binding.

Use these illustrative scenarios to review a proposal. They are questions to ask, not statements that a loss is covered.

A client complains about advice given two years ago

Does the work fall after the retroactive date, and is the claim reported within the required period?

The insured plans to retire at expiration

What extended-reporting option is available, and which later claims about prior work would it permit reporting?

A service firm adds a regulated activity

Is it part of the selected professional-services definition, excluded by a base form, or outside current eligibility?

Published requirements and notices

The sources reviewed do not establish a complete required submission packet for this product. Confirm the current application and required documents for the account.

Hedge’s preparation guidance for this placement:

  • Supply a precise service description, revenue by activity and representative client contracts.
  • Provide the expiring policy, retroactive date, prior-insurance history and any known circumstances.
  • Identify the operating states and any changes in professional services or plans to close, sell or stop the business.

Include the named insured, locations, requested lines and limits, effective date, existing applications and available loss information. Start with what you have; we can identify what is missing.

Does this profile confirm my account is eligible?

The published specialties are a starting point. State, business activity, loss history, requested coverage, limits and effective date can change eligibility. The sources used here do not provide a complete state-by-product matrix. The actual proposal and policy forms determine coverage.

Is this an independent rating of Coterie Professional Liability?

No. Hedge is an insurance intermediary and has a commercial interest in helping agents place business. Our commentary explains the placement questions we draw from the cited material.
