Gilsbar Partners with ORLSI as Exclusive Administrator for Malpractice Insurance

In a strategic move to enhance its offerings for attorneys, Gilsbar has entered into a partnership with Old Republic Lawyers Specialty Insurance (ORLSI) as the exclusive administrator for legal malpractice insurance across eleven states. Effective from May 2026, this expanded collaboration brings significant improvements in policy coverages and benefits for legal practitioners, fostering a competitive landscape for malpractice insurance.

Expanding the Reach of Coverage

The states included in this robust partnership are Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas. This marks an influential expansion as Gilsbar and ORLSI aim to provide comprehensive professional liability coverage to even more attorneys after already having collaborated in Kentucky, Kansas, Tennessee, and Louisiana over the past year.

Ryan Haun, the CEO of Gilsbar, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership saying, "Having worked with ORLSI in select states has illuminated the potential for both organizations to help attorneys find better malpractice coverage with competitive premiums. We’re excited to pursue this success as we venture into new territories."

Enhanced Benefits and Features

This partnership aims to not just attract new clients but also to enhance the benefits available to existing policyholders. Gilsbar and ORLSI's collaboration presents several enticing features:

• - Claims-Free Deductible Opportunity: Attorneys can enjoy reduced financial liabilities when claims are avoided.
• - Deductible Discounts: Additional discounts are available when attorneys meet certain criteria, potentially resulting in lower overall costs.
• - Policy Premium Discounts: By coupling with standalone cyber coverage, legal professionals can benefit from further premium reductions.
• - Higher Risk Management Premium Discounts: More significant discounts are available to those who actively engage in risk management practices.
• - Flexible Pricing Structure: Changes in the rating parameters aim to provide more adaptable pricing, suited to diverse budgetary needs.

These tailored offerings underscore Gilsbar's dedication to supporting attorneys with services catering specifically to the unique exposures associated with practicing law.
