Excess Professional Liability

for Law Firms and Lawyers

HUB International's Excess Professional Liability Program for Lawyers & Law Firms, established over 30 years ago, offers a full suite of products and services to protect your firm. Our team helps you identify and address issues relating to risk management and insurance as your firm evolves to meet changing needs.

We understand that success depends on your customers' and vendors' trust in the services, advice or counsel you provide. Allegations of misrepresentation, breach of contract or wrongful business practices can destroy your business.

Lawyers are particularly vulnerable to claims arising from former clients dissatisfied with their case outcomes. This is why leading law firms develop plans to reduce the risk and seek coverage in addition to the mandatory coverage provided by regional law societies.

HUB's Excess Professional Liability Program Includes:

• Excess professional liability over your local Law Society program with limits available from $1m to $50m and higher
• Employment Practices Liability - $250,000 sublimit
• Outside Directorship Liability - up to a $9,000,000 limit available (subject to underwriter approval)
• Employee Dishonesty & Fidelity Coverage
• Cyber Crisis Management & Data Breach Response Costs - $25,000 limit

• Automatic coverage for newly hired lawyers
• Coverage for members and ex-members of Foreign Law Societies
• Broad definition of "Professional Services" including working as a notary, mediator, arbitrator, trustee, administrator, executor, patent or trademark agent
• Wordwide Coverage Territory
• Coverage for law management companies and corporations owned by insured
