Darwin offers valuable loss control services
and risk management information to its lawyers professional
liability (LPL) policyholders. The goal of our program is to
support a firm's organizational risk management efforts by developing
risk management strategies that evolve to meet everyday professional
challenges. Many of these services are available to our insured
lawyers at no additional charge. Below is a brief synopsis of
these services.
Risk Management
Web Site and CLE Programs
A fundamental component of any risk management program is building
awareness through information and education. Darwin partners
with the law firm of Hinshaw and Culbertson, LLP to provide
an interactive web site that contains a wealth of information,
practice support tools, and legal malpractice prevention articles.
Additionally, up to three hours of online CLE is available
to Darwin insureds.
