The last contract we were offered that included professional indemnity required us to have cover for the job and 5 years after.

A university I occasionally contract to directly will absolutely not use anybody who does not have professional indemnity and public liability insurance. This obviously covers them, and me, against charges of plagiarism etc. However, as I am only covered for the period of the insurance, I haven't yet worked out what happens if there is a problem after I let the insurance lapse.=20 I assume the big educational publishers are fiercely protective of their material, but the nature of the work involves drawing on the writing of academics authors. I'd be interested to know how other writers working in the educational market deal with this.
