Compliance stack

The attorneys and law firms compliance stack

Professional liability, court and fidelity bonds, and licensing for law firms whose practice requires it.

Law firms protect three things at once: the advice they give, the client funds they hold, and the obligations a court or a regulator places on certain practice areas. The pieces below pair the insurance, bonds, and licensing that cover each.

Requirements vary by state and activity. The license and bond pieces apply where your activity and jurisdiction require them.

Court Bonds

Court and judicial bonds posted during litigation, appeals, fiduciary appointments, and similar proceedings.

Court bonds (judicial and probate) guarantee performance of an obligation imposed by a court, such as an appeal, injunction, or fiduciary appointment. Probate and fiduciary bonds are the most common: executors, administrators, guardians, and conservators post them to guarantee faithful handling of an estate or a protected person's assets.
