Attorney Protective

What Attorney Protective does

Attorney Protective (AttPro) is a US legal malpractice insurance carrier that provides professional liability coverage to attorneys and law firms nationwide. It operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of MedPro Group within the Berkshire Hathaway conglomerate, with policies underwritten through Berkshire affiliates including National Liability & Fire Insurance Company, National Fire & Marine Insurance Company, and the AttPro RRG Reciprocal Risk Retention Group. The company insures over 20,000 attorneys and is headquartered in Richardson, Texas, governed by Indiana law. Its core product is annual legal malpractice insurance covering defense costs, indemnification, and claims management for malpractice actions, supplemented by a separate Cyber Liability and Breach Response add-on priced from $75 per attorney with standalone limits.

The company's product surface is anchored on a single core line with targeted adjacencies. The primary policy includes differentiated policyholder benefits such as First Dollar Defense (first $25,000 of claims expenses before deductible), free retirement tail coverage, loss-of-earnings payments up to $500/day, public relations consulting expense coverage up to $25,000, and five deductible-reduction pathways. Value-added services include free CLE webinars (open to both insureds and non-insureds), the AttPro Ally content library, an online policyholder account portal, and a third-party Breach Solutions integration providing pre-breach risk management and post-breach response (forensics, credit monitoring, notification). Underwriting is traditional, supported by a claims team composed entirely of licensed attorneys with decades of legal malpractice defense experience.

Attorney Protective distributes through licensed independent insurance agents and brokers regulated by state Departments of Insurance, complemented by direct online quoting at attpromote.com and a content-driven top-of-funnel marketing motion. Revenue is generated through recurring annual insurance premiums, with cyber coverage priced as a separate subscription. The company is privately held within Berkshire Hathaway, with no public revenue disclosure, and operates exclusively in the United States.
