I think they'd be foolish not to but I don't know of any laws that require them to.
I bet TP would know...
Does anyone know if a large legal firm can operate without malpractice insurance? I'm not talking about a single attorney hanging a shingle but a very large firm in a major city.
Can you think of a way for me to find out? Not sure what to look under on the internet.
Thanks for any insight/ideas!

If the firm is large enough, they could be self-insured.

thanks TP. very long story. i'll try to condense.
i large law firm in LA (think plush) was representing my bf's family in a wrongful death suit.
they missed 2 filing deadlines and continued to tell the family that the day in court was coming blah blah blah.
several years elapsed. family got ducked whenever they called the lawyer and finally demanded a meeting. at the meeting they were told that the necessary papers weren't filed and case was dead in the water.
family secured another lawyer who reviewed all the facts and decided it was a fairly clear case of legal malpractice that would probably settle out of court.
papers were filed against the original lawfirm in january.
many delays have happened since. the latest bombshell this week was that the firm being sued didn't have malpractice insurance at the time they were handling the original case (so they claim)
just sounded screwy to me. worst part - the family has been going through this for 6 years and 4 months now. there's always a date that it should settle or go to court and then the date comes and goes...
the not having malpractice insurance sounded crazy to me....
thanks again
