An attorney’s legal malpractice policy contains important conditions, limitations and exclusions that dictate the circumstances under which a claim will and will not be covered. Unfortunately, many attorneys fail to read their malpractice policy until the worst possible time, when a claim has already been made.

For most, the best time to review a legal malpractice policy is in the months leading up to a renewal. In today’s competitive insurance market, there are a wide range of options available that can help combat the ever-increasing risk of a legal malpractice claim.
