Premium information for insurance cover for period 1 July 2023 to 30 June 2024.

Base premiums are calculated with reference to the law practice’s gross fee income (GFI).

In most cases this will be the law practice’s actual GFI for the financial year ended 30 June 2022, but where the practice is newly established the premium will be calculated according to estimated GFI for the upcoming insurance year.

The premium rates have been determined on advice from LPLC actuary and reflect the claims experience of law practices insured by LPLC for particular GFI ranges.

Claims loadings

Law practices with an adverse claims history are subject to a claims loading.

The claims loading is added to the base premium before the calculation of GST and stamp duty.

Claims loadings depend on the amount of premium paid by the law practice and the frequency and severity of claims.

Notifications of circumstances which have not become claims are excluded from the calculation of claims loadings.
