BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Ironshore offers coverage to protect attorneys from personal financial loss

HAMILTON, Bermuda—Ironshore Inc. has launched a lawyers management liability program offering individual attorneys coverage for personal financial loss risks that arise from a firm's insolvency.

The products were developed in response to Dewey & LeBoeuf L.L.P. filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, the insurer stated Monday in a statement. The program is offered through its Lloyd's Pembroke syndicate 4000.

“Lawyers liability programs comprise the largest business class underwritten in Pembroke's Professional Lines division,” said David White, director of professional lines for the syndicate, in a statement. “The new management liability cover designed for lawyers offers a seamless solution for law firms seeking to protect their partners against an unusual and unexpected dissolution of the entity, when combined with our asset protection policy.”

Pricing is determined on a case-by-case basis.
