Your Insurance Advocate & Provider

We are the advocate and provider of quality professional liability insurance products for the full spectrum of the National Legal Aid & Defender Association (NLADA) membership community—individual attorneys, legal aid organizations, public defenders, corporate pro bono law programs, law school clinics, individual clients and public interest groups.

Formed in 1994, we advocate for competitive pricing and product excellence on behalf of our insured customers. Since our entrance in the market the average insurance costs per attorney have been cut in half.

Excellent Financial Strength by Insurance Leaders
Today, we provide more than 1,100 NLADA members nationwide with an array of quality professional liability insurance products. We offer superlative coverage by The Hanover Insurance Group, an established domestic insurer with financial ratings of “A” or Excellent. Wells Fargo Insurance Services, USA, Inc. serves as our broker.

If you are a current insured and received a cancellation notice from CNA — this is a formality-- no action is required on your part. To learn more about the transition to the Hanover, how it benefits you, and what to do with existing claims, please click on this link or contact your NLADA Insurance Program representative.

Risk Management Tools to Keep Your Premiums Down and Claims Low
Our knowledge, experience and dedication to the equal justice community is unparalleled in the insurance market. We recognize the importance of helping our customers keep their claims low and premiums down through risk management training and tools that meet their specialized needs.

Our Policyholders are Our Investors
We treat our policyholders as investors; reinvesting our net proceeds back into the equal justice community. We're proud of our support of NLADA fundraising, training and initiatives on behalf of the civil legal aid and defender communities, and our support of their community programs. Expanding to meet our customers’ changing needs, ensuring they receive the best coverage, price and service available, today and in the future is a key priority.

We recognize our community is operating in a scarce resource environment. In response, we're providing premium relief and new product enhancements. We’re processing renewals four months out from policy expiration dates and offering these enhancements:

  1. Premium Relief Immediately
    • For renewals and new applications, where financially sound underwriting standards permit.
    • We will meet or beat competitive bids
  2. Ease of Renewal: Beginning October 2011
    • You’ll be able to renew your policy online -- your application, quoting, binding and policy issuance electronically processed.
