# Insurance for Attorneys & Law Firms

Insurance for law firms: lawyer professional liability with prior-acts, cyber for client confidentiality, and crime for trust-account exposure.

## Insurance for attorneys and law firms

Law firms run on advice, deadlines, and client trust accounts. The policies that protect them have to match: lawyer professional liability with prior-acts, cyber for client confidentiality, and crime for the trust-account funds a firm holds.

## The coverage stack we build

The lines we most often assemble for law firms. Each is placed only where your practice needs it.

## Common claim scenarios

Representative situations these lines respond to. Illustrative, not a guarantee of coverage.

## How it works

1. **Tell us about your operation**, Share what your business does, your revenue band, and the contracts or clients driving the need. This sets the exposures an underwriter will price.
2. **We market your risk to carriers**, Our agents take your profile to the carrier panel that writes this line, then compare terms, limits, and exclusions side by side.
3. **Review quotes and choose limits**, You see the options in plain language: what each policy covers, where the gaps are, and how the limit and deductible change the premium.
4. **Bind coverage and get your documents**, Once you pick a quote, we bind the policy and send your certificate and policy documents, usually within one business day.
5. **Manage renewals and changes**, As your business changes, we adjust limits, add endorsements, and handle the renewal so coverage keeps pace with your exposure.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is malpractice insurance required to practice?

It depends on your state. Some jurisdictions mandate it or require disclosure if you do not carry it, and many clients and courts expect it regardless.

### Why does a law firm need crime coverage?

Because firms hold client funds in trust. Crime coverage reimburses the firm if those funds are taken through internal theft or forgery.

### How quickly can you get me a quote?

Most quotes come back within 2 to 5 business days once we have the basics: business name, state, headcount, revenue, the lines you think you need, and any prior claims. Specialty placements can take longer; we will flag that up front.

### Do you place coverage in every state?

Yes for the major P&C lines. Some specialty lines have state restrictions and we will flag them at quote time.
