Solicitors’ professional indemnity insurers

The Law Society’s Insurers’ Guide has revealed that, for the 2012/2013 period, the market share by insurer based on number of firms insured is as follows:

  • XL – 23%
  • Travelers – 15%
  • Balva – 9%
  • Zurich – 8%
  • First Title – 7%
  • QBE – 7%
  • Allianz – 4%
  • Chartis – 4%
  • Alpha – 3%
  • Axis – 3%
  • Enterprise – 2%
  • Liberty – 2%
  • WR Berkley – 2%
  • AM Trust – 1%
  • Aviva – 1%
  • Elite – 1%
  • ERIC – 1%
  • Barbican – <0.5%
  • Chubb – <0.5%
  • Hannover – <0.5%
  • RSA – <0.5%
  • Other – 3%
  • Unknown – 4%

It’s interesting to note the market share of the unrated insurers – Balva, of course, had its operating licenses withdrawn and has been threatened with liquidation.
