The increasingly vital role played by in-house counsel also comes with malpractice risks. A legal malpractice lawsuit not only threatens the company’s balance sheet, it can also place an in-house attorney’s personal assets in jeopardy. As one of the first insurers to offer employed lawyers liability insurance, Chubb is both committed to, and held in high regard by, the in-house legal community. We’re proud to be an ACC Alliance Partner providing employed lawyers professional liability insurance to members of the Association of Corporate Counsel (ACC), the largest organization of in-house counsel in the United States.
