    This is part of a course of study? At law school? University?

    I'm not sure it is either sensible, or ethical, to take advice from a bunch of amateurs on the internet for this.

    you should be researching the law yourself as part of your studies, and learning from that process of self-research....

    Well you just pass on the info you've been given! Pretty standard scenario.
    If you want advice on the indemnity policy itself you'd better have a look at one and read for yourself what it entails.

    You should advise the client that Nat Bank plc does not appear to be registered with Companies House, and that his solicitor does not know how to spell "advise" as a verb, or use the possessive apostrophe.

    Come back for an answer when you have sorted out the difference between 'advice' and 'advise'.

    and the use of multiple '!'s in academic writing.
