Did you know that over 80% of malpractice claims arise from firms with fewer than 5 attorneys?
In fact, real estate practice is the fastest growing source of malpractice claims against lawyers and now vies with plaintiffs personal injury work for the top spot, and the great majority involve solo practitioners or those in firms of 5 or fewer attorneys.
If I buy insurance, it just makes me an easy target for lawsuits. There is little evidence to support the notion that attorneys are less interested in pursuing cases if you don’t have insurance, but why would you want to gamble your very livelihood on this notion?
Our professional liability insurance program is tailored to meet the needs of small law firms. Underwriting is based on the exposures and practices of small firms and not the high risk practices nor large firm exposures thus allowing us to price accordingly.
