Even though attorneys worry about claims of legal malpractice, they are not the only insurable threat to the financial stability of law firms. Attorneys must recognize other risks of loss, which they frequently—and unwittingly—ignore. Attorneys should have a working understanding of the insurance coverages that are available to mitigate against these risks. While legal malpractice insurance will be discussed, this online seminar focuses on an in-depth discussion of the various types of insurance that can be purchased by law firms to protect their myriad risk of loss along with an overview of the marketplace in Illinois for such insurance.
