2025–2026 Solicitor premiums
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 2024, 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.
Gross fee income | Base premium | Premium (incl GST and stamp duty) |
|---|---|---|
Nil | $220 | $261.36 |
$1 – $19,999 | $371 | $440.75 |
$20,000 – $39,999 | $879 | $1044.25 |
$40,000 – $59,999 | $1,681 | $1,997.03 |
$60,000 – $79,999 | $2,766 | $3,286.01 |
$80,000 – $99,999 | $4,134 | $4,911.19 |
| $100,000 and above | The base premium is calculated as a percentage of law practice Gross Fee Income (GFI). The rate depends on the assessed GFI. |

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.
