Frequently Asked Questions about ALPS Insurance

Why is ALPS the best insurance provider for solo and small firm attorneys?

ALPS is more than just a malpractice insurance provider—we're a partner committed to helping solo and small firm attorneys thrive. Here’s why attorneys across the country choose ALPS:

1. We specialize in insurance for lawyers and law firms.
Unlike general insurers, ALPS is 100% focused on the legal community. That means every policy, process, and person is dedicated to protecting attorneys, especially solos and small firms.

2. We’re trusted by more state bars than anyone else.
ALPS is the only provider endorsed by more state bars than any other carrier. Those endorsements reflect the trust and confidence legal professionals and their associations place in us as their partner.

3. We handle claims the way lawyers would want them handled.
Our claims are managed in-house by experienced attorneys. We understand what’s on the line and treat every claim with the care and professionalism it deserves.

4. We help you minimize the risk of claims in the first place.
From free CLEs and risk management tools to practice tips and client education resources, we equip you with the tools to run a stronger, safer practice.

5. We make it easy to get covered.
Our online application is fast, simple, and designed to fit into a busy attorney’s schedule. You can get a quote, customize coverage, and secure your malpractice policy online—without a phone call.

6. We’re built for firms like yours.
While other insurers focus on large firms, ALPS is designed from the ground up for solo practitioners and small firms. That means tailored coverage, fair pricing, and service that understands your world.
Why do attorneys need insurance?

A common misconception among some attorneys is that the likelihood of facing a malpractice claim is minimal, leading them to forgo insurance. However, even baseless allegations require a defense, which can be costly. The following numbers will vary between different states, practice areas, and across time. However, approximately 4% of private-practice lawyers in the U.S. will face an allegation of malpractice in any given year. Even if many of those allegations resolve without any loss being paid, those claims still have an impact. Claims can easily take 6 to 24 months to resolve, and defense costs on a claim with any merit can quickly exceed $25,000.

Beyond financial protection, malpractice insurance offers peace of mind, allowing attorneys to focus on their practice without worrying about potential claims. ALPS also provides risk management resources, such as CLE, practice forms, and templates, to help attorneys proactively mitigate the risk of a claim.

How do I know what coverage I need for my firm?

While there is no formulaic way to determine the proper amount of coverage for a firm, a good place to start would be to select limits that allow you to feel comfortable with the amount of protection based on the type of work you perform and the amount of liability that could be imposed should you ever make an error.

ALPS offers you a few different ways to understand your coverage needs:

Which Business Insurance Product Is Right For Your Law Firm?
Does ALPS offer coverage for specialized practice areas?

Yes, ALPS offers coverage for specialized practice areas. For both parties, the insurance company and firm, several key factors must be evaluated when considering the right coverage and risk protection.

Different specialties carry different risk levels (e.g., intellectual property vs. personal injury). Demonstrating expertise, experience, and risk management practices can impact what coverage may be offered to a firm in a high-risk practice area. ALPS has access to various insurance markets to present comprehensive insurance options to firms with unique practice areas.
