Lawyers Professional Liability Risk Management Help Line

At The Hartford, we recognize that risk management is important for all size law firms.  To help assist our law firm clients with inquiries involving loss prevention, claims, ethics and professional responsibilities, The Hartford is pleased to offer a confidential risk management hotline to help address risk management concerns you may have.  The hotline's toll-free number is 1-866-HART-PRO.

*The Help Line is not a substitute for the retention of legal counsel to obtain ongoing legal advice on specific problems, such as adverse personnel actions. Rather, it is designed o provide you with quick answers to basic or general questions. Inquiries that may require extensive research, review of personnel documentation or preparation of personnel policies or forms are beyond the scope of the Help Line service. The Hartford and Jackson Lewis LLP disclaim all liability with respect to any information provided during a Help Line cal and/or any of the services described above. Please also be aware that availing yourself of any of the services described above will not constitute the filing of a notice of claim.
