Law firms, much like any business, face unique and evolving risks, especially when it comes to employment practices. Employment Practices Liability Insurance (EPLI) is a critical safeguard that protects law firms from costly lawsuits and reputational harm arising from workplace disputes, such as claims of discrimination, harassment, or wrongful termination. As employment-related litigation continues to rise, EPLI has become an essential part of a law firm’s risk management strategy, providing both financial protection and mental security.
