Why Professional Liability Insurance Is Essential
As an attorney, you have a keen understanding of the ways that business owners may be held legally responsible for their customers. You also know that attorneys are held to the same, if not a higher, standard.
Professional liability insurance covers your firm against the claims and lawsuits that could bring a permanent end to your business.
1. Protect Your Reputation
Safeguard your firm’s reputation against claims that can damage your credibility and erode client trust.
2. Financial Security
Cover the costs of legal fees, settlements, and judgments that may arise from professional liability claims.
3. Client Confidence
Demonstrate your commitment to professionalism and responsibility, reinforcing client confidence in your services.

- Claims of Negligence
- Errors & Omissions (E&O)
- Malpractice
Whether your firm is a handful of attorneys or a large organization with hundreds of lawyers, our insurance solutions are customized to meet your specific needs. We offer flexible policies that can scale with your practice, ensuring you always have the right level of protection.
What’s Covered By Professional Liability Insurance?
When you take a client’s case, they’re literally putting their life in your hands. If things don’t go according to their expectations, you might find yourself on the wrong end of a lawsuit.
Unfortunately, there are many ways that things can go wrong:
- Miscommunication
- Clerical errors
- Mistakes
- Missed deadlines
- Breach of confidentiality
- Conflict of interest
- Case neglect
- Breach of fiduciary duty
- And more
As you well know, you don’t have to be guilty of these offenses to be hit with a lawsuit. But with the right insurance, you don’t have to pay for your legal costs.
