Typical Business Insurance Package for A Small Law Firm


by John B. Randolph, President / CEO, TLIE

In our December, 1998 Advisory we announced that our wholly owned subsidiary, Texas Lawyers Professional Insurance Agency, Inc. (TLPIA) and Texas Associates Insurors had joined forces to provide the attorneys of Texas an array of business insurance products.

Rather than extol the virtues of the various coverages available we thought it might be more informative to simply provide a real quote that was recently provided a two person law firm with two support staff. The various coverages shown below can be tailored to meet your specific needs. There will be some premium variations depending upon your location and number of covered individuals.
