Professional Firms EPLI

More and more employers are finding out the hard way that the employment relationship has become increasingly complex -- a quick review of today's newspaper headlines will confirm this. As a result, professional firms face a multitude of serious exposures in their day-to-day interactions with employees. In addition, claims for harassment, discrimination, wrongful termination, retaliation, and a variety of other workplace torts, spurred by the Civil Rights Acts of 1991 and the Americans with Disabilities Act, are rising each year -- with no end in sight. In fact, as courts are broadening the definitions of discrimination and harassment, these claims can only be expected to rise. The many costs associated with such claims can have a serious financial impact on even large firms.

As one of the first insurers to introduce Employment Practices Liability Insurance (EPLI), Chubb conducted a thorough, nationwide research effort into the unique exposures of professional firms. As a result, we developed a comprehensive, stand-alone, EPLI policy exclusively for professional firms.
