Why Lawyers Professional Liability Insurance?


Why Lawyers Professional Liability Insurance?
An unwarranted claim from a disgruntled client can derail your practice and put your reputation in danger - even if you ultimately prevail. That's why lawyers need legal malpractice insurance, also known as Lawyers' Professional Liability (LPL) or Errors & Omissions (E&O) insurance. LPL insurance provides coverage for alleged malpractice, professional misconduct, or deviations from the standard of care.
Florida Lawyers Mutual is different. We are a mutual company created by and for Florida lawyers, owned by the Florida lawyers we insure. Since our inception in 1987, we've only ever offered one kind of insurance: legal malpractice insurance specifically for attorneys in the state of Florida. In fact, we're the only LPL provider created by The Florida Bar. Additionally, we are proud to be recommended by many of the largest voluntary bars in the Sunshine State, including Tallahassee Bar Association! Learn more about how we're different.
There's a lot to know about LPL insurance. Our Underwriting team is always here to help. Additionally, we encourage you to learn more from our Legal Malpractice Insurance Glossary.

We are a mutual company, not a commercial company.
Our company is owned entirely by our member lawyers. When you buy a Florida Lawyers Mutual policy, you join our family of owners, you vote for the members of your Board of Directors, and you enjoy our many Member Benefits (including an extensive library of free CLE, a cyber liability endorsement added to your policy at no additional premium cost, and more). You have direct communication with Florida-based Underwriters and Claims Specialists who know you, understand your practice, and care about your reputation. We exist to serve our members and the state's legal community, not the bottom line on the commercial carrier's financial statement.
Florida Lawyers Mutual: Relationship. Strength. Value.
