You can now request the 2021-2022 Cyber Coverage Policy via email at insurance@lsnl.ca.

We encourage members and firms to review and consider all of the insurance policy’s terms and conditions. We also want to remind you of one exclusion in particular:

[The Insurer] shall not be liable for any claim directly or indirectly arising out of:

• The failure of the…Law Society Member to:
  • Back-up copies of data at least weekly, to store such back-up copies of data offsite, and to test the back-ups annually;
  • Update the Law Society Member computer network with new protection patches, anti-virus software, and anti-spyware within two weeks of critical patches being released; and
  • Install, maintain, and actively monitor, within reasonable business practices, firewalls and endpoint protection on their computer network.

If you would like to purchase additional, dedicated cyber insurance for your firm, CLIA offers a standalone cyber program with limits of up to $2,000,000 across all five cyber coverages. You can contact CLIA via email at service@clia.ca or the general commercial insurance market.
