At the beginning of 2025, ALPS entered into a new and exciting partnership with GIRL ATTORNEY®, an online community of nearly 40,000 women practicing law across the United States. On January 9, 2025, GIRL ATTORNEY® named ALPS Insurance as their exclusively endorsed provider of law firm insurance.
“I’m proud to have a partnership with ALPS because they, like the GIRL ATTORNEY® Community, are committed to making the practice of law a better place for all of us: attorneys, clients, community,” said Susan Carns Curtiss, Founder and CEO of GIRL ATTORNEY®.
Director of Strategic Partnerships, Rio Laine, reflected on the relationship, “With decades of experience, ALPS knows that women attorneys are statistically less likely to get a claim for malpractice. Because risk management is a crucial part of what we do, in addition to providing solid coverage for law firms, we see an even greater value in this partnership.”
ALPS has already begun collaborating with GIRL ATTORNEY® on developments in the law firm insurance market, providing access to innovative risk management tools, resources, and allocating financial and in-kind support.
In addition to providing comprehensive insurance coverage, ALPS will also assist firms in effectively managing law practice risks, with particular attention to small firms and solo practitioners. ALPS’ risk management department actively develops educational resources to protect and guide lawyers toward a more successful and risk-free practice, including one-on-one support from ALPS’ knowledgeable Risk Manager and attorney, Mark Bassingthwaighte.
