Embroker | February 24, 2023
Embroker, a digital insurance platform that makes it easy to insure a business, just released a new malpractice and cyber bundle that is specifically made for legal practices.
This package, the company's first vertical offering built on its new ONE by Embroker platform, makes it easy for law firms to obtain customized malpractice and cyber coverage.
Ben Jennings, Chief Revenue Officer at Embroker, stated, "Regardless of size, law firms don't just want to 'tick' the insurance box; they need a strategic partner to create products where risk is dynamically modeled and tailored to their biggest exposure areas."
He further added, "This law liabilities and cyber bundle does exactly that, and represents the first of multiple vertical-specific bundles we'll be launching on ONE by Embroker in the coming months."

Law companies' databases include massive volumes of personal and sensitive customer data, making cybersecurity breaches severe. After answering a few questions, law firms can identify their coverage needs and receive customized liability and cyber policy quotations. Custom product packaging, level pricing transparency, and one application for various coverages let them receive the proper coverage faster and easier.
ONE by Embroker uses AI and machine learning to synthesize and mix business insurance solutions depending on industry demands, simplifying the insurance buying process. Embroker's ONE by Embroker universal application and strong vertical expertise create a unique, streamlined shopping experience for legal professionals in this law package. It's suitable for companies of all sizes, but those with 25 attorneys or fewer are the most underserved by conventional brokers and carriers.
Due to these expanding concerns, many organizations are now carefully assessing their cyber exposure and adding cyber insurance to their cyber hygiene activities.
