San Francisco professional liability FAQ

Local service, clear next steps.

How do San Francisco client contracts affect E&O coverage?

Contracts may specify professional liability limits, deductibles, additional terms, or proof-of-insurance deadlines. The policy still controls coverage, so requirements should be reviewed alongside the proposed form rather than treated as automatic coverage.

What should a law firm know before changing insurers?

Lawyers professional liability is commonly written on a claims-made basis. The retroactive date, prior-acts protection, pending matters, firm changes, and reporting provisions deserve careful review before an existing policy is replaced.

Does technology E&O replace cyber insurance?

Usually not. Technology E&O generally addresses financial harm arising from technology services or products, while cyber coverage addresses privacy, security, response, and related liabilities. Some policies combine elements, but the wording and limits need to be compared.
