Additional Information
For example, assume that two accountants, "A" and "B," form a partnership. After 5 years, they merge their practice with an existing partnership consisting of accountants "C," "D," and "E." The predecessor firm provision in the professional liability policy purchased by this new combination would provide coverage for errors and omissions committed during the AB partnership even if claims arising from those errors or omissions are not made until after the merger of the two firms.
