Protect your reputation and your livelihood with a comprehensive and affordable lawyers' professional liability plan. The only plan endorsed by your Bar Association.
The New York State Bar Association endorses this lawyers' professional liability plan administered through USI Affinity, formerly USI Bertholon-Rowland, because it offers you broad, affordable coverage tailored to suit the specific needs of your practice.
To earn our endorsement, the plan had to pass a rigorous review by a panel of your colleagues at the New York State Bar Association. It was selected by your fellow attorneys because it provides optimal coverage and competitive rates. Following are three key features of the plan:
Full Prior Acts Coverage
Attorneys who join your firm will be covered for their prior acts, provided 1) they meet the terms and conditions of the policy and are subject to underwriting approval; and 2) have maintained continuous claims-made coverage while in practice. (This coverage may be excluded from the policy upon your firm’s written request.)
