Ok, I promise that we'll stop talking about PII now. Actually, I'm lying – it's not that I find it the most riveting subject in legal practice right now, but it is very timely, as we news people say, and we've a duty to give you as much information about this important time point as we can.If you're running a law firm or are a sole practitioner (though I'd better not go there right now, if all the panels hoo-hah is to be heeded) you've either paid your professional indemnity insurance premiums by now or you're girding your loins to do so.

Obviously you've perused all the advice and market analysis the Gazette offered in our recent PII supplement – which, in case you have given your copy to someone else, you can still download here – but you may also be interested in reading a guide to buying PII that the Law Society and the British Insurance Brokers' Association have put out recently.

You may also like to read 360 Legal Group chief Viv Williams's top 10 tips on how to get the best deal from your PII broker if you're a sole practitioner.

There is, I'll admit, another reason I'm recommending you read them, bar their obvious utility: Viv spent quality time coming up with his top 10 tips, but then his name mysteriously vanished when we ran this feature in print recently. Sorry Viv – you now exist again in our online version.
