Practice Visit Program

The Practice Visit Program (PVP) is an interactive risk management session specifically customised to address and enhance one of the specific areas of practice within your practice. The session is designed to take place in the convenience of your own office or home office, ensuring that the experience is both personalised and comfortable, and it can be scheduled at a time that aligns with your availability. It requires no preparation on your part; we value your time and aim to make the process as seamless as possible.

The aim of the PVP is to reduce claims on the Professional Indemnity Insurance Scheme overall and as such we will be visiting every solicitors’ practice in SA approximately every three years. This regular check-in allows us to stay connected with your evolving needs and challenges, sharing best practice in risk management and ensuring that our support remains relevant and beneficial.
