The Bar Plan

The Bar Plan Mutual Insurance Company is committed to the legal community by providing Lawyers' Professional Liability Insurance, Court Bonds, and other lawyer related products and services. Unlike most commercial carriers that have entered and exited this market as changes in corporate goals and policies dictate, The Bar Plan has remained a constant, serving Missouri lawyers continuously since 1986. There is no other carrier that has written enough of this market or stayed in this market continuously to know how to price this line of business. It is not uncommon for insurance carriers to decide to write this line of business in Missouri at a price that will “buy” market share. The Bar Plan has experienced this many times over the years. In each case, carriers will either take a rate increase once the claim experience develops or exit the market entirely. The Bar Plan also writes lawyers’ professional liability insurance in Kansas, New Mexico, Indiana and Tennessee. In conjunction with its subsidiary, The Bar Plan Surety and Fidelity Company, The Bar Plan writes Court Bonds in all 50 states. The company is truly unique with its services to the legal community including CLE seminars, risk management hotline and practice management services, along with its active participation in, and support of, the bar.
