What is errors & omissions (E&O)?
The common name for professional liability insurance — coverage for claims that your professional services, advice, or deliverables caused financial loss.
Why it matters
E&O is simply professional liability by another name — the coverage for claims that your work or advice caused a client financial harm. Contracts may say E&O, professional liability, or malpractice; one properly written policy satisfies all three phrasings.
