According to the ABA, “the failure to know or properly apply the law” accounts for a large number of legal malpractice claims.* The law, like most areas of business, has become more specialized. Before engaging in an unfamiliar practice area, find a mentor who is already practicing in that area, and learn the new area of practice. At Minnesota Lawyers Mutual we don’t just sell you a policy.

We work hard to give you the tools and knowledge necessary to reduce your risk of a malpractice claim. We invite you to give us a call at 800-422-1370 or go online at www.mlmins.com and find out for yourself what we mean when we say, “Protecting your practice is our policy.”
