Program helps law firms prepare for cyber attacks
Gemini Risk Partners, an independent professional liability insurance brokerage for law firms, has introduced a cyber liability program, CyberMate Legal, written by a syndicate on the Lloyds of London platform.
“We are seeing a proliferation of cyber breaches and cyber liability claims against law firms, including significant ransomware demands. With more firms offering remote work options to lawyers and staff, cyber intrusions on law firms have increased exponentially,” said David Kramer, J.D., Gemini Risk Partners principal. “We can now meet those needs for firms of all sizes with an ‘A’ rated insurer and comprehensive coverage.”
CyberMate Legal offers wording specifically tailored to law firms, including specific reference to loss or theft of data in the course of the attorney-client relationship and reference to lost billable hours in calculating income loss.
CyberMate Legal coverage includes costs for credit monitoring, forensic work, data restoration and cyber ransom payments, as well as financial harm to vendors and financial loss to clients as a result of a data breach. The policy includes access to a 24-hour incident response hotline.
