Professional Indemity
Rule 5 of The Code of Conduct has placed a significant onus on all Solictor Practices in relation to quality and risk management. The insurance facility created by MFL seeks to assist firms in ensuring that they comply with their obligations.

The facility not only has competitive premiums but also provides additional significant benefits:-

• A FREE Risk Management Health Check for all members. (Particularly pertinent in relation to Rule 5 of the Code of Conduct.)
• No hidden earnings. MFL will negotiate a fee for our services upfront.
• Preferential rating agreed for MLS members through the MFL facility with a number of insurers.
• The facility is open to all sizes of firms from Sole Practitioners upwards.
• Provision of Financial Services advice for Members and your clients.

Office Insurance
Whilst we appreciate that the main insurance spend for most Solictor Practices relates to Professional Indemnity, we firmly believe that the Office Insurance policy should not be neglected.

There has been significant product innovation in this area in recent years, meaning that in particular those policies that have not been reviewed for some time are often deficient in policy coverage and charged at uncompetitive premiums.

MFL has negotiated enhanced policy coverage and preferential premium rating with a well respected insurer specifically for The Manchester Law Society   members.

Special features over and above standard Office Insurance cover include:-

• Full 'all risks' cover, including accidental damage and subsidence.
• Full theft cover ie. no requirement to prove forcible of violent entry, or exit.
• Computer breakdown - Limit £50,000*
