Firm and market-facing notes from Apex.

The Apex reference library has grown past 2,400 entries covering the UK professional indemnity landscape — statutes, case law, regulator rulebooks, market mechanics and profession-specific coverage points. All entries are peer-reviewed by an FCA-approved individual before publication. Browse the wiki.
Apex has completed publication of 18 sector-specific Ultimate Guides for 2026, covering the FCA, SRA, ICAEW, ACCA, RICS, ARB, ICE, IStructE and BCS professional-firm territories. Each guide is written for principals of professional firms rather than for insurance intermediaries. See all guides.
