RPS Signature Programs, the program administration division of
Risk Placement Services (RPS), has announced that its lawyers professional liability program (LPL) is now available through the digital RPS Small Business Platform. On the platform, LPL coverage can be quoted, bound, and issued online in minutes with limits of up to $5 million for qualified firms.
“Our online platform allows us to bring our ‘digital-first’ mindset to our retail partners,” said Ryan Collier, chief digital officer at RPS. “Our small business platform simplifies the entire underwriting process from quoting to issuance. This means that retail brokers can spend less time on each account while still [offering] their clients high-quality LPL coverage.
Brokers and retail agents who serve “micro firms” – those with five or fewer attorneys – especially stand to benefit from the automated underwriting and online quote process, RPS said. The LPL program is now available to quote online on an admitted basis in 39 states, including Florida, Illinois and Texas. RPS launched the program in October with Core Specialty Insurance Holdings and its StarStone National Insurance Company subsidiary. The program was originally launched on a non-admitted basis with the goal of offering admitted coverage in most states.
