The exposure

Exposures in securities practice

Each practice generates claims in characteristic ways. Coverage is evaluated against the exposures specific to the work.

01

Disclosure adequacy

Offering documents are judged in hindsight after a deal fails. An omitted or inadequate disclosure is a common basis for investor and client claims.

02

Exemption and compliance error

Reliance on the wrong exemption, or a failed Regulation D condition, can render an offering non-compliant with significant consequences.

03

Opinion and diligence liability

Legal opinions and diligence in offerings carry direct exposure; a flawed opinion can become the focus of a claim when losses occur.

Representative scenarios

Claim situations that can arise

Hypothetical, generic illustrations — not actual claims, and not a statement of coverage.

01

Disclosure omission

An offering document omission surfaces after a deal fails, and investors or the client allege inadequate disclosure.

02

Exemption failure

A Regulation D condition is not met, and the client alleges the offering was rendered non-compliant.

03

Opinion liability

A securities opinion is challenged after losses, and the client alleges resulting liability.

Coverage notes

Professional liability for securities attorneys.

Lawyers professional liability insurance — legal malpractice or errors and omissions coverage — responds to claims that an error, omission, or act of negligence in professional legal work caused a client financial harm. For securities attorneys, the exposures identified above determine the frequency and severity of claims. The policy responds to defense costs and to damages, subject to its terms.

Coverage is written claims-made and reported: it responds to claims first made during the policy period for work performed on or after the retroactive date. Prior acts and predecessor firm terms determine the treatment of prior work. Continuity of coverage should be maintained to avoid gaps.

Indemnity depends on the insurer's financial condition. This program is written on paper rated A+ (Superior) by AM Best. Coverage descriptions on this page are summaries qualified in their entirety by the issued policy, which governs.
