⚠️ Your Exposure

Why lawyers can't practise without it.

Clients rely on your advice and your diligence. When something is missed, the consequences land on the firm. So does the claim.

Missed Deadlines & Limitation

A missed filing date or limitation period can cost a client their case, and you a negligence claim.

📝

Errors in Advice or Drafting

A mistake in a contract, will or opinion can lead to real financial loss and liability.

⚖️

Conflicts of Interest

An undetected conflict can void work and trigger a claim or a complaint to the Bar.

💰

Mishandled Client Funds

Errors in client account handling carry serious professional and financial exposure.

🔒

Breach of Confidentiality

An inadvertent disclosure of privileged information can result in a costly claim.

💬

Client Complaints

Even unfounded complaints require a defence. Your cover pays the legal costs.

📁 Real Scenarios

Claims lawyers actually face.

These aren't rare. A single negligence claim, unprotected, can cost more than years of fees.

  1. Missed limitation period: A client's claim is time-barred due to an oversight, and they sue the firm for the lost value.
  2. Drafting error: A mistake in an agreement causes a client financial loss they demand you cover.
  3. Conflict of interest: An undisclosed conflict unravels a transaction, prompting a claim and a complaint.
  4. Negligent advice: A client acts on advice that proves wrong and holds the firm liable for the outcome.
  5. Confidentiality breach: Privileged material is inadvertently disclosed, triggering a claim for damages.
