The Louisiana State Bar Association (LSBA) has chosen Old Republic Lawyers Specialty Insurance (ORLSI) to be its official provider for lawyers’ malpractice insurance. This new partnership will bring improved coverage options and several new benefits to LSBA members starting January 2026.
Through this collaboration, the LSBA Insurance Program will offer perks such as a claims-free deductible opportunity, meaning lawyers who don’t file claims can lower their deductible costs. There will also be more chances to get discounts on deductibles. Members can earn premium credits if they buy a separate cyber liability policy, helping to reduce their insurance costs. Risk management premium credits, which reward firms for safe business practices, will be higher. Pricing will also become more flexible with changes to how rates are set.
Current LSBA members already in the malpractice insurance program will be informed about these updates for policies starting in January 2026. New lawyers joining the program from that date will receive quotes that include the improved policy features.
By teaming up with ORLSI, the Louisiana State Bar Association aims to give its members stronger protection and better value for their malpractice insurance. This move reflects a growing focus on helping legal professionals manage risks more effectively amid evolving challenges in the field.
