HUB International

role: HUB brokers technology E&O as part of its general E&O practice, naming technology as one of the industries it serves, and separately markets it as one line within its dedicated technology-industry practice.

coverage: HUB's general E&O page says policies typically cover defense costs, judgments, settlements and fines from allegations of misrepresentation, breach of professional services, wrongful practices and misleading advice, and can be structured with prior-acts coverage back to a retroactive date and tail coverage for an extended reporting period.

limits: HUB's E&O page says policies typically include per-claim and aggregate limits, but does not publish specific limit amounts for technology E&O. E&O product-page structure description; specific limits are set on the quote and declarations.not-disclosedSource ↗
insurer: Neither the E&O page nor the technology-industry page names an issuing insurer for technology E&O; HUB places this coverage with insurers that vary by client and placement. Checked both pages on 2026-09-23; no carrier is disclosed on either.not-foundSource ↗Source ↗
application: HUB directs prospects to connect with a broker; the E&O page describes policies as customized to business size, industry, location, risk base and desired limits, without an online quote flow. Product-page call to action as read 2026-09-23.company-reportedSource ↗

What Are the Key Differences Between Coalition and HUB International Tech E&O Insurance?

E&O Tied to Cyber vs Standalone Placement

Coalition sells Tech E&O only as a companion to Active Cyber Insurance, through appointed brokers. HUB International brokers technology E&O through both its general E&O practice and a dedicated technology program, with no requirement to buy a particular cyber policy. Choose Coalition if you want E&O and cyber from one insurer with one claims team; choose HUB if you already have cyber you like or are switching E&O insurers and need your prior work kept covered. [4] [7] [8]

Tech-Specific Triggers vs Prior-Acts and Tail Options

Coalition lists the tech failures it covers: bugs, delivery delays, IP claims over licensed code, IT implementation errors and missed contract requirements. HUB’s E&O page is general, covering defense, judgments, settlements and fines from misrepresentation, breach of professional services and misleading advice, and says forms can include prior-acts cover back to a retroactive date plus a tail for claims reported after the policy ends. Those continuity terms matter when you change insurers or wind down a product. [4] [7]

Broker Consultation on Both Sides

Neither sells online. Coalition asks you to book a consultation or go through an appointed broker. HUB sends you to a broker and customizes by size, industry, location, risk and desired limits. [4] [7]

What Should You Confirm in Coalition and HUB International Tech E&O Insurance Quotes?

Ask both which insurer issues the policy; neither names one. [5] [7]
Ask HUB whether prior-acts and tail wording is on your form, and Coalition how far back it covers past work. [7] [4]
Confirm Coalition binds the cyber and E&O together on your quote. [4]
Get per-claim and aggregate limits from HUB. [7]

Coalition sells Tech E&O only together with its Active Cyber policy, through appointed brokers; HUB is a broker that places technology E&O on its own through a dedicated technology practice and can arrange prior-acts cover and an extended reporting tail when you switch insurers.
