Loss Prevention

Programs, practices, and resources designed to reduce the frequency and severity of malpractice claims before they occur. Many legal malpractice carriers offer loss prevention services—including CLE credits, risk management hotlines, sample engagement letters, and conflict-checking system audits—as part of the policy or in exchange for premium credits. Firms that implement robust loss prevention measures such as docketing systems, peer review of filings, and client communication protocols typically qualify for more favorable underwriting terms. A documented loss prevention program is one of the most effective ways for a law firm to control long-term insurance costs.
