Keeping Your Insurance With "Your Person" May Feel Easy, But What Don't You Know?

We get it. Maybe it feels easy to just let your local agent place all of your insurance. They have your best interests in mind, right? Law firm insurance is difficult to understand and the last time you started to compare options, it felt frustrating and confusing to discover what truly matters the most.

So a couple of times a year you get an email with a few forms to fill out, maybe even a phone call to tell you they found a better option and need a few signatures. If you're honest, you don't think about the companies behind your policy.

At ALPS, we believe it's wrong that lawyers don't know which insurance to buy, how much of it they need, and what it should cost. That's why we continue to lead the industry in innovation — from the only 100% online legal malpractice insurance process to providing a single solution for all your firm's insurance, to a focus on delivering timely and relevant risk management resources designed to help make it easier for you to practice law with less risk than ever before.

There's a reason why we are the largest direct writer of lawyers' malpractice insurance and are trusted by more state bars than any other carrier. You can count on our financial strength to back up our promise to our policyholders in the event of a claim. You deserve simple, straightforward protection from people who know your name. 

 

Choosing the right partner to protect your firm shouldn't have to be difficult. With ALPS, you can get some time back in your day to focus on why you got into this business in the first place — helping people.
