Frequently Asked Questions

Yes.  In addition to our standard program, which is underwritten through AXIS Insurance Co, we also have the Select program, which is underwritten by a non-admitted carrier.  Being able to offer coverage to nonstandard risks through the excess and surplus lines markets gives us the ability to offer professional liability insurance to hard-to-place law firms that might otherwise be declined.

We do not issue formal invoices; the quotation serves as the invoice. We do not issue formal binders. Policies are typically issued within 24 business hours as long as all information and c-notes are provided. The policy is the broker’s confirmation.

• Please place “Request to Bind” in the subject line of your e-mail and send to Affinitylawyersadmin@aon.com
• All bind requests are received by our Document Processing team.
• The team scans the bind requests into our work flow system and routes them to our Insurance Operations team.
• If a broker wants confirmation that coverage is bound pending receipt of the policy they must copy their underwriter.
• If there are c-notes involved, Insurance Operations routes bind requests to the underwriter for approval to issue.
• If the underwriter is not copied on the request, Insurance Operations will issue the policy and the underwriter will not be aware of the bind request.

Email all requests to affinitylawyersadmin@aon.com.  Copy your renewal underwriter. Once a new business account has been issued, any subsequent changes would be handled by your renewal underwriter.
