Malpractice Insurance for Attorneys
New Lawyers Professional Liability Insurance for Attorneys Program Expands Options for Firms Some Consider "Hard to Place"
Has your firm been unable to secure lawyers' professional liability insurance coverage due to practice specialty, claim activity, disciplinary history or other unusual risk factors?
Brunswick Companies has several plans specifically designed to offer affordable coverage to law firms who have been turned down or priced out of the market by standard carriers.
A Customized Evaluation of Your Exposures
Anyone can make a mistake, and even a single instance of disciplinary action or a single claim will cause some insurers to classify a firm as "hard-to-place."
Designed for firms of one to fifteen attorneys, this program is most likely to benefit law firms fitting one of the following profiles:
- Have experienced a single, large "shock-loss" claim.
- Specialize in "high-risk" areas of practice such as plaintiff law (other than class action). For instance, if your firm specializes in automobile accidents and/or personal injury cases, you may qualify.
- Firm attorney(s) have experienced disciplinary actions or grievances.
- Recently declined or canceled.

Brunswick Companies recognized that firms may react to such an occurrence in different ways. The key to this program is the ability of our team of professional liability underwriters ; we evaluate not just the risk factors, but also the steps a firm has taken to avoid a recurrence. Most insurers don't offer this customized evaluation.
We have decades of experience in creating customized professional liability programs for professional groups and associations. By partnering our underwriting expertise with the financial strength of an A-rated carrier, we have developed a plan that provides an alternative to the standard professional liability carriers. Many insurers automatically decline coverage to lawyers who have certain risks. As experienced risk managers, our team of professional liability specialists can analyze your firm's status and individually rate your exposure. Often, we can offer a plan with manageable rates.
