Litigation Consultant Insurance Coverage Checklist
The coverages a litigation consultant business may carry — core, prevalent, and situational — why each matters, and the gap most often missed.
Pull out your current policy and check the box next to any coverage you can confirm is already in place — anything unchecked is worth a quick conversation with your advisor. Coverage checklist for litigation consultants, jury consultants, and e-discovery providers. Priorities reflect typical exposure for this class; confirm against your actual services, contracts, and clients.
Tick each coverage you can confirm you carry — anything left unticked is a good question for your next policy review.

The coverage gap most often missed
The gap most often missed by litigation consultants is the space between E&O and cyber. Consulting E&O often excludes data breaches, and cyber policies often exclude professional errors, so client data destroyed or exposed at a vendor can fall between them — Quinn Emanuel's 2022 incident started at an e-discovery processing vendor. Use a combined technology E&O and cyber policy that covers hosted client data.
