Do I need to notify that I have hired a non-attorney employee?
You will need to update the number of employees to the firm on your renewal application.
Top

How do I notify you of changes to my firm (adding an attorney, address change, firm name change, etc)?
Notification of changes will need to be received in writing. If you are adding an attorney, we will need to receive a letter from a partner in the firm requesting the attorney be added to the policy, stating the exact date to add the attorney. The new attorney will also need to complete an Individual Attorney Supplement (IAS). If an attorney leaves your firm, please notify us of this change. All changes to the firm should be reported within thirty (30) days of the change.

Does ALPS offer CLEs to its insureds?
Yes, we offer some of the most relevant and interactive CLEs in the industry.  View the CLEs and Events on this website or ask an ALPS representative about CLEs in your area.
