Leaving the Bar

Barristers who have ceased to enagage in legal practice and have surrendered their practising certificate will be covered for claims later made against them under LPLC's master policy for run-off liabilities.

To qualify for run-off cover, a barrister must have been insured by LPLC immediately prior to ceasing legal practice.

The run-off policy is provided free of charge and applies automatically without application by a barrister once its qualifying terms are met.

This cover is part of LPLC’s insurance scheme for barristers and is provided through a master policy for run-off liabilities issued annually.
