Let Us Pinpoint the Coverage You Need to Grow Your Business.

Our Excalibur Insurance Brokers might ask a lot of questions – for good reason.

Whether you’re a lawyer, legal Professional, solicitor, barrister or legal advisor, you exist in a sphere with unique risks. Our job is determining the range of inherent risks and their required coverage. There will be coverages you need to begin serving clients, welcome new lawyers to your firm, or protect yourself as your business expands to new services.

We begin by acknowledging the risks, then prioritizing those in terms of what is most urgent or likely. Then we’ll develop a plan to manage, mitigate, transfer, accept or even avoid those risks. Here are a few areas of specialized concern you should consider when reviewing your coverage as a legal professional.

  • Fraud Insurance for Lawyers & Law Firms
    If an employee should commit fraud, you may be able to protect yourself from any legal repercussions with Fraud insurance. Fraud insurance can protect your law firm from fraud or dishonesty your employees commit.
  • Workers’ Compensation Insurance
    This coverage offers financial benefits for your employees should they be injured at work or become ill. This employee may receive funds in exchange for not suing your law firm, which fulfills their medical expenses and lost wages. Workers’ compensation may also cover the costs of a lawsuit if an employee does decide to sue.
  • Client Liability Risk
    There is an expectation of service that comes with a professional industry. Failure to meet that expectation may result in a loss or perceived loss, threatening the relationship between a client and a firm or bringing about the risk of a lawsuit. To mitigate this risk, a Professional Service firm can avoid working with high-risk clients or high-risk cases, implement standard client service, avoid the exposure of client data, and maintain compliance with industry regulations and standards as consistently as possible.

These are just a few of the risks your employees and customers face. Our Excalibur Commercial Insurance specialist will review coverage options with you to keep your team operating at its best.
