Did you know that Lawyers Mutual has a staff of 7 claims attorneys who are available to assist you in a variety of ways. Sure, we handle legal malpractice claims against our insureds. But we do so much more.  We provide guidance to our insureds in the areas of risk management, legal malpractice, substantive practice questions, ethics and disciplinary matters, subpoena assistance, emergency planning, client relations, claims repair, practice management, and virtually any other practice issue you can imagine. 

Did you know that your policy contains an Additional Benefit coverage of $5,000 per year to assist with matters like subpoena assistance, disciplinary assistance reimbursement, and claims avoidance. This benefit is offered without triggering your deductible. Our in-house claims attorneys are usually able to help insureds with ethics issues and claims avoidance. Sometimes, though, you need outside counsel assistance. This is where your Additional Benefit coverage can help. 

Did you know that we offer free consulting services. If you need help with succession planning, retirement, or compensation planning for your firm, Camille Stell can help. If you need assistance with law practice management tools and solutions or legal technology, Erik Mazzone can assist you. Erik and Camille are available to consult with you by phone, video, or email. As a Lawyers Mutual insured, you are entitled to 3 free hours of Erik’s time and Camille’s time each policy year. 

Did you know that we have in-house claims attorneys and outside counsel who can help you and your law firm when unexpected emergencies occur. We can help in situations where there is an unexpected death or disability, a natural disaster, or some other crisis. Our HELP Team is available to assess the situation, come up with a plan, and take action to protect you and your clients. 

Did you know that Lawyers Mutual offers CLE speakers for local bar groups, practice sections, law firm retreats, association events, and virtually any other circumstance where CLE content is needed. We present CLE’s on issues ranging from substantive practice areas to technology and cyber threats to ethics and risk management. We also have a free on-demand CLE platform that is available to our insureds who would like to learn from the comfort of their home or office.
