Legal Mutual Liability Insurance Society of Maryland

Created in 1986, Legal Mutual Liability Insurance Society of Maryland (Legal Mutual) was brought about by the Maryland Legislature as a direct result of the efforts of the Maryland State Bar Association to provide Maryland attorneys with an accessible, stable, yet affordable, market for lawyers professional liability insurance.

Legal Mutual is the only professional liability insurance company endorsed by the Maryland State Bar Association.

Legal Mutual is a non-assessable, policyholder owned mutual company servicing the insurance needs of Maryland attorneys, and every one of its policyholders is a Maryland attorney or law firm. The Company is dedicated to serving the Maryland legal community on a long-term basis. The Company also offers a variety of educational services, including its newsletter The Solicitor. Legal Mutual isn't in and out of the market like many other insurance companies... Legal Mutual is here to stay.

The primary goals of Legal Mutual are to:

  • Provide a stable lawyers professional liability insurance market for the state of Maryland;
  • Provide reasonable coverage at affordable pricing;
  • Provide for the long-term health of the Company's insuring future; and
  • Provide the insurance related services necessary to support the legal community of Maryland.
