LAWYERS PROFESSIONAL LIABILITY (LPL) INSURANCE​

At ProQuest, we structure LPL placements to satisfy the coverage and risk management requirements of a broad spectrum for mid- to large-size firms. In addition, we ensure optimum “market security” by providing you with up-to-date information on each recommended insurer’s financial rating, condition, and stability. The insurers that support our clients’ LPL programs are rated from “A-” to “A++” by A.M. Best and have well-established reputations and longevity in this class of business.

We serve clients with specialty practices whose LPL insurance requires the experience of a broker with powerful market leverage and a thorough understanding of coverage and claim issues. More importantly, we serve as your advocate, not only in structuring a competitive LPL program that is tailored to your firm’s risk profile, but also in managing sensitive claim matters.

With offices in Chicago and New York and broking partners in London and Bermuda, we have unrestrictive access to markets in the U.S., Europe (including underwriters at Lloyd's of London), and Bermuda.
