Hi Tu and Team, Please see below from the carrier. The broker is happy to go back to them and seek clarity if there are any questions. The insurance carrier positions is that waivers of subrogation are not standard and not allowed on legal malpractice policies. This is because they could interfere with the insurer's rights and increase unnecessary risks. They are appropriate for property,general liability or workers' comp policies where third party liability is more common The reason they do not waive the right for subrogation is the carrier may seek subrogation/malpractice against the defense firm that they hired to defend the claim. The carrier may also seek subrogation against their insured if said insured remained passive regarding the malicious act or Error&omission that has been committed, not against the claimant. See example of hyperlinked of a carrier seeking damages against it's own carrier's own defense firm,for legal malpractice regarding a E&O claim, not against the claimant of the insured law firm. https:/Iderreverel aw.com/how-subrogation-empowers-insurers-against-I a gal-mal practice/ Everest is a A+Superior(AM Best)the highest rating given for Lawyers E&O insurance and admitted in the State of California.

Could you please share the carrier's response, along with any further information that might help clarify why the Waiver of Subrogation cannot be provided for this coverage? Previous Message: Risk can waive the Additional Insured endorsement for the PL. When reviewing your PL Subrogation policy along with the sample we provided, we can see that both subrogation sections are similar. However, the difference is the it doesn't state " the Company agrees to waive this right of subrogation against the client . . ." This is what we need. We need a Waiver of Subrogation. PL Sample: P. SUBROGATION In the event of any paVmont under this policy, the Company shall be. subrogated to all the Insured's rights of recovery therefore against any person or organization and the Insured Shall execute and deliver a-istrunrents atul papers and do Matever else is necessary to secure such rights. The Insured shall do notftirtf} after the Insured becomes av%are of a circumsta€rco that reasotwably could give rise to a Claim to F"rojrtd co such rights. The Company agrees to %wive this right of subrogation against the client of the Insuted to tyre extent ifrat the insured had, piker to a Claire, a vVinen agreement to tNnive such rights. Your PL policy: SECTION X-SUBROGATION In the event of any payment under this Policy, the insurer shall be subrogated to all of the Insured's rights of recovery against any person or organization,including any rights the Insured may have against any other Insured who personally participated or personally acquiesced in or retrained passive after having knowledge of any dishonest,intentionally wrongful, fraudulent,criminal,or malicious act,error or omission.The Insured shall do whatever is necessary to secure and collect upon such right. The Insured shall do nothing to prejudice such rights.
