Letter from our Chairman

Welcome to the PilotLegis website! As Chair of PilotLegis and a partner in a PilotLegis member firm, I am proud to introduce this site as a resource from which you can learn about one of the most unique and successful Lawyers’ Professional Liability (“LPL”) insurance programs in the country.

PilotLegis was formed in 1991 to generate purchasing power for midsized firms that were willing to embrace risk management procedures in order to obtain the best possible coverage at the best possible rates. PilotLegis members have never wavered from these goals, and the group is thriving. Our claims experience is excellent, our risk management efforts are innovative, and our coverage, policy terms and security are extremely strong, all of which contribute to a program that works well for our members and our underwriters.

Through group purchasing power, our members enjoy preferential treatment in the LPL marketplace, more predictable pricing, and a stable source of insurance. Member firms also learn from each other in a myriad of ways, including the sharing of risk management and practice management procedures, a cornerstone of the program.

PilotLegis offers a unique path along the Lawyers’ Professional Liability landscape. We trust you’ll find our website useful in exploring whether this path is the right path for your firm.

Richard Patch, Esq.
Chair, PilotLegis
