ACC Members - Welcome to Chubb
 

Acting as in-house counsel, whether for a public or private company, is an increasingly complex and vital role. Unfortunately, it also comes with legal malpractice risk. In-house counsel can be at risk if they are engaged in activities such as:

• Human resource management work on activities such as downsizing.
• Review of advertising, press releases, and other communications.
• Reports or opinion letters to outside agencies or regulatory bodies, including the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
• Approval of contract language used with outside vendors or customers.
• Any other legal services for the company that might be relied upon by third parties.

Indemnification agreements and directors and officers liability insurance policies may afford some protection from an allegation of legal malpractice, but often leave gaps, exposing an in-house attorney to a non-indemnified and uninsured loss.
