Attorneys & Law Firms
Programs built around lawyer professional liability and the operational risks specific to legal practice.
Law firms run on advice, deadlines, and client trust accounts. The policies that protect them have to match: lawyer professional liability with prior-acts, cyber for client confidentiality, crime for trust-account exposure, and employment practices liability for the firm's own employees.
We place LPL on a claims-made basis with prior-acts coverage that follows the lawyer, not the matter, so a move between firms does not leave the back catalog uncovered. The cyber line gets the additional sublimits that matter for legal work (social-engineering, funds-transfer fraud, breach coach hours). And we pair it with a crime policy that explicitly endorses trust funds the firm holds for clients.

How we use AI
AI helps our insurance team work faster. Our specialists still own every call.
For operators in Attorneys & Law Firms, AI helps our insurance team start their research in the right place and reuse what you have already submitted, so we spend our time on the judgment calls that matter. A licensed specialist reviews every filing. Your data stays on Cornerstone infrastructure, not in a public chatbot.
On Our Infrastructure
Our models run on Cornerstone servers, not public chatbots. Your business information is not sent to a third-party LLM or used to train anyone else's product.
An Assistant, Not an Operator
AI helps our insurance team start their research in the right place and surface the resources to look at. Specialists vet what comes back and make the call.
Less Duplicate Work for You
Atlas figures out what data each form needs, then reuses what you have already given us so the same question does not come around twice. That is how approvals come faster.
