PLUS London: Advancing a Global Professional Liability Community

PLUS’s mission is to be the global community for the professional liability insurance industry—and London has long been central to that vision. As one of the world’s most influential insurance hubs, London provides a critical vantage point for global collaboration, innovation, and leadership in professional liability. PLUS has proudly been part of the London professional liability community since 2005, and today, we are deepening that commitment while recognizing the extraordinary leadership that has brought us this far.

This initiative represents a strategic investment in maintaining a truly global outlook—one that benefits members across markets, career stages, and disciplines.
