Attorney Malpractice Insurance Automatic Extended Reporting Period

This can be misleading unless you read the paragraph that follows the title.  While this provision is useful in special cases, it normally does not come into play.  More than one attorney has thought that they have 60 days past the policy expiration date to renew or get new coverage because of the 60-day ‘Automatic’ Extended Reporting Period (ERP).

Shopping for an Attorney Malpractice Insurance Tail

Your law firm is closing. The firm has maintained attorney malpractice insurance since the firm’s inception.
