Lawyers

Many insurers profess to see their clients as unique. Few really do. At Beazley, we have been underwriting professional liability insurance for US law firms for more than 20 years. We understand the interplay of internal and environmental factors that determines each client’s risk profile, enabling us to offer differentiated coverage and pricing. And we know the value of risk management advice that is tailored to meet clients’ individual needs. 


We serve three main types of law firm clients:


National and global firms

Primarily top 250 firms, well managed and with proven risk management, active in all practice areas.  


Regional law firms

Firms with 35 or more attorneys that have a local or regional focus. All types of general practice firms are included in this category (e.g. litigation, real estate, small corporate, trusts and estates).


Specialist law firms

Firms that currently or potentially confront coverage challenges due to high profile areas of practice or loss record. These are often specialized ‘boutique’ practices (e.g. plaintiff’s bar, intellectual property, securities, antitrust and entertainment).

Our treaty and program underwriters also insure and reinsure a broad range of smaller law firms.
