Description
Selecting legal malpractice insurance can be a daunting undertaking. Due to lack of understanding, lawyers often find themselves without adequate coverage when a claim occurs. This “too little too late” scenario could have been avoided if they had purchased coverage knowing some basic insurance concepts.
In addition, many policies provide coverage outside the realm of legal malpractice coverage, such as coverage for disciplinary actions and employment practices liability. Often unaware or having forgotten such coverage was part of their policy, many lawyer-insureds never avail themselves of these and other protections they have under their policy of insurance.

- Policy pricing
- Assessing carriers
- The importance of the insurance application
- Interpreting your coverage
- Claims-made coverage
