Every golfer has a unique follow-through. Whether it’s long and graceful or short and awkward, it’s the finishing move that gets the ball where it needs to go. Without a proper follow-through, even the best swing won’t deliver the result you’re aiming for. The same is true when it comes to insurance protection for your law office.
Most attorneys start the swing—they carry legal malpractice insurance. But too many stop short. They don’t follow through by protecting themselves against cyber liability. And that’s where the shot falls short.
The Risk of Not Following Through
I hear it all the time:
“I’ve been meaning to look into cyber insurance…”
“We’re a small office—nobody’s going to hack us.”
“We don’t have any information that hackers want.”
Wrong. Those are all excuses—and dangerous ones. Hackers aren’t just targeting the big fish. In fact, they have a name for small firms that lack sophisticated cyber defenses:
“Low-hanging fruit.”
Law firms, even solo practices, store exactly the kind of data hackers crave—names, addresses, Social Security numbers, banking info, legal documents, and confidential case files. That’s gold to a cybercriminal. And without the security infrastructure of a Fortune 500 company, you’re an easy target.
What About My Malpractice Policy?
Another common myth I hear is this:
“My legal malpractice policy already covers cyber claims.”
Not quite.
Your legal malpractice policy might include a small amount of ancillary cyber coverage—but not nearly enough to protect you if a serious breach occurs. Cyber incidents can trigger lawsuits, regulatory fines, business interruption, ransom demands, and reputational damage. You need a dedicated cyber liability policy to handle those risks.
Protect Your Clients. Protect Your Practice.
Your legal malpractice policy is your swing.
Cyber insurance is your follow-through.
If you want your protection to actually reach its target—your clients, your firm, your future—you have to complete the motion.
There are no mulligans in the world of cyber claims. Once you’re hit, the damage is done—and without the right coverage, it could be devastating.
So, take the next step. Don’t stub the shot. Follow through and secure cyber liability coverage for your law office.
