Frequently asked about Lawyers

Why is Professional Liability Insurance important for lawyers?

Also known as Legal Malpractice Insurance, this coverage protects against claims of negligence, errors, or omissions in legal services. It helps cover legal fees, settlements, and judgments, which can otherwise be financially devastating.

When would a law firm need Fiduciary Liability Insurance?

If your firm offers employee benefits or retirement plans, Fiduciary Insurance protects you from liability due to errors or mismanagement of those plans.

What types of insurance do law firms and attorneys typically need?

Most legal professionals need Professional Liability Insurance, Cyber Insurance, and Commercial Crime Insurance at a minimum. Depending on your firm’s size and structure, additional coverages like EPLI, Fiduciary, D&O, and Property Insurance may also be essential.

What is EPLI and how does it apply to law firms?

Employment Practices Liability Insurance (EPLI) covers your firm against claims brought by employees or job applicants related to discrimination, harassment, wrongful termination, and other employment-related issues.

What does Property Insurance include for law offices?

Property Insurance covers physical damage to your office space, equipment, or furnishings. It also includes liability protection for bodily injury claims and can be bundled with Businessowners Policies (BOP) and Workers’ Compensation if you have employees.

Is Cyber Insurance necessary for law firms?

Yes. Law firms handle highly sensitive and confidential client data. Cyber Insurance protects your firm from the financial and reputational damage caused by data breaches, hacking incidents, and other cyber threats.

Do small or solo practices need Directors & Officers (D&O) Insurance?

Yes—D&O Insurance protects firm leaders from lawsuits related to business decisions, helping to shield personal assets and cover legal defense costs. It’s especially important if your firm has a board or offers strategic advisory services.
