Our Goal: Navigating Risk and Helping Law Firms Get Back to Business

There are more than 1.3 million lawyers in the U.S. with a 10.4% industry growth rate in the last ten years.  Since 2010, the number of lawyers increasing nationally has outpaced the nation’s population growth rate which means there are roughly four lawyers for every 1,000 residents.  For over 40 years, Amwins Program Underwriters’ Lawyers Professional insurance program has offered professional liability coverage for law firms located in Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont with 1 to 34 attorneys.

Your clients work hard to protect their firm, their reputation, and their bottom line from a multitude of risks.  Amwins Program Underwriters’ Lawyers Professional program is designed to help you with informed decision-making, handling your clients’ business needs accurately and efficiently, so you can get back to doing what you do best.
