Broker Beware

The Insurance Institute of Perth & Dundee is happy to announce that their next technical event will be entitled ‘Broker Beware’

While trying to manage and insure against risk on behalf of their clients, insurance brokers bear a lot of risk themselves from the extensive suite of duties they owe.

Join Alisdair Matheson and Louise Kelso from Brodies LLP as he guides you through the worst of the minefield, guides you through worked examples and then offers advice on how to avoid ending up a statistic.
