Also known as Legal Professional Liability (LPL) or Legal Malpractice Insurance, these policies can protect your firm from unwarranted claims, additional fees, and defense cost. Claims such as these occur when a legal professional is said to have failed to perform their duties up to the professional standards set forth. Some examples include misinterpretations of the law, bad advice, missing deadlines, conflicts of interest, etc. Additionally, some clients simply view a negative outcome as reason to file a malpractice claim against your firm.
