Remote work is here to stay, and for plaintiff law firms, that means adapting policies and procedures to protect both employees and the firm itself. While flexible work arrangements offer numerous benefits, they also introduce new risks that standard insurance policies may not fully cover. Now is the time to reassess your firm’s coverage to ensure you’re protected in 2025 and beyond.

Key areas to review include:

• Workers’ Compensation – If an employee is injured while working remotely, does your policy extend coverage beyond the office? Clarifying remote work policies with your insurer is essential.
• Cyber Liability Insurance – With attorneys and staff accessing sensitive client data from home networks, cyber threats are a growing concern. A strong cyber policy can help protect against breaches, ransomware attacks, and unauthorized access.
• Business Property Insurance – Does your firm’s policy cover office equipment that employees use at home, such as laptops and printers? Some policies may require specific endorsements for off-site property coverage.
• Professional Liability Insurance – Remote work can blur lines of responsibility and communication. Ensuring your professional liability coverage accounts for remote workflows can help mitigate legal risks.

By updating your insurance policies to reflect the realities of remote work, your firm can stay agile while maintaining the protection it needs. If you haven’t reviewed your coverage recently, now is the time—reach out today to ensure your firm is fully prepared for 2025.
