What Matters Most When Choosing PI Insurance: Key Factors for Law Firms

When it comes to selecting Professional Indemnity Insurance, law firms often find themselves weighing several important factors. While price is frequently top of mind, other considerations can be equally critical in ensuring the long-term stability and success of a firm. In this article, we explore the key elements that should guide your decision-making process and highlight how our exclusive LawSelect facility addresses these priorities.

 

  1. Price: Balancing Cost with Comprehensive Coverage

Understandably, price is often the first consideration for many firms. With all SRA-compliant policies offering similar coverage, cost can become the deciding factor. However, it’s important to look beyond the price tag and consider what you’re truly getting for your money.

 

Paragon’s Difference:
We understand that cost is crucial, but we also believe in providing value beyond the basics. Our LawSelect facility offers options for long-term policies, including 18-month terms, and flexible excess options, allowing you to tailor your coverage to suit your firm’s specific needs. This flexibility can provide both financial predictability and peace of mind, ensuring you’re covered for the duration that best aligns with your business.

 

  1. Longevity and Stability of the Insurer

The longevity and market stability of your insurer should be a key consideration. A provider with a long-standing presence in the market offers a level of security that newer entrants simply cannot match. It’s essential to partner with an insurer that not only understands the unique risks associated with your profession but also has a proven track record of supporting firms through various market cycles.

  1. Long-Term Relationships: Building Trust and Understanding

In a market where the policies may look similar, the relationships you build with your broker and insurer can make all the difference. A broker who understands your business and can offer advisory support is invaluable. This goes beyond transactional interactions; it’s about having a partner who is committed to your firm’s long-term success.
