Insurance for Law Firms

Shielding your law firm and attorneys from risk

In today’s uncertain business environment and in the context of an increasingly litigious society, your law firm has never faced greater legal risks. Regardless of the types of law your firm practices, B. F. Saul Insurance is the right partner to help mitigate them.

B. F. Saul Insurance is especially adept at addressing the top exposures most law firms face, such as these:

Errors & Omissions (E&O)

Malpractice claims are a concern for any law firm, with rising client expectations and surging social inflation driving up your risk of a claim, and your exposure, to an exorbitant award or settlement. Heavy workloads coupled with the rapid demands of the legal profession create conditions that are ripe for errors and oversights. Moreover, if your firm has experienced a migration of attorneys, or an entire practice area, either in or out of the firm, the additional malpractice exposure increases substantially.

B. F. Saul can provide an E&O policy that addresses your firm’s specific exposures, reduces your risk and the resulting financial consequences, and protects your assets.

Cybersecurity

Every organization is a potential target for cybercriminals, but law firms are even more likely to be in the crosshairs. Your electronic files contain confidential and personally identifiable information on your clients, presenting a treasure trove of data for cyber criminals. Keeping up with the ever-changing landscape of cybersecurity technology is challenging for most law firms.

B. F. Saul can help you obtain the right cybersecurity coverage and ensure you have robust processes and procedures in place to protect against financial and reputational harm.

Employment Practices

Post-COVID shifts in work practices make it more likely than ever that your law firm will face an employment practices lawsuit, such as a wrongful termination, employment discrimination, or sexual harassment claim. In addition, risk exposure has also increased due to the impact of social inflation on judgments (i.e., inflated jury awards primarily based on social factors), thereby driving up the settlement value of claims.
