About CLIA - Canadian Lawyers Insurance Association

CLIA is a reciprocal insurance exchange formed in 1988 as a direct response to a need for more effective professional liability coverage for Canadian lawyers. By banding together to form an insurance company, law societies were given access to direct insurance markets (akin to shopping wholesale) that would recognize the years of Canadian-specific claims history the law societies had built. Member law societies include: • Manitoba • New Brunswick • Newfoundland and Labrador • Northwest Territories • Nova Scotia • Nunavut • Prince Edward Island • Saskatchewan • Yukon If you are a lawyer practicing in one of the above jurisdictions, you are insured by CLIA. CLIA issues a master policy to each member law society to benefit its practising insured members. The participating law societies agree on standard limits and policy terms, and each selects a member society retention appropriate to their circumstances. CLIA administers claims exceeding society deductibles and performs a coordinating role.
