Lawyer Insurance

What is Lawyer Insurance?

Solicitors and lawyers in the UK are required to carry professional indemnity insurance to protect their business and their clients against costly legal mistakes and omissions.  Many claims brought against solicitors working in private practice are connected with professional negligence, and the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) requires solicitors’ insurance to include very specific types and levels of cover. Needless to say, this can be very complex and time-consuming to set up – hardly the best use of valuable time for a busy law firm.

What your lawyer’s insurance cover can include

• Professional indemnity insurance to comply with the SRA requirements
• Risk management
• Insurance cover for buildings
• Employers’ liability insurance
• Loss of income due to accidents or injuries
• Fee protection for insolvency cases
• Defence costs for disciplinary proceedings by the SRA or the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal
• Partnership disputes cover
• Directors’ and officers’ cover
• Cover in case of employment breaches, discrimination and wrongful dismissal
