Cyber Insurance Pricing by Firm Size

Firm Size	Monthly Cost	Annual Cost	Typical Limits
Solo practitioner	$95–$150/mo	$1,140–$1,800/yr	$1M / $1M
Small firm (2-5 attorneys)	$150–$350/mo	$1,800–$4,200/yr	$1M–$2M
Mid-size firm (6-20)	$350–$750/mo	$4,200–$9,000/yr	$2M–$5M
Large firm (20-50)	$750–$1,250/mo	$9,000–$15,000/yr	$5M–$10M

These are national averages based on standard coverage. Your actual quote depends on several factors.

What Drives the Price?

1. Firm Size & Revenue

More attorneys and higher revenue = more data, more risk, higher premiums. A solo practitioner with $200K revenue pays dramatically less than a 30-attorney firm billing $15M.

2. Practice Area

High-risk practice areas pay more:

Practice Area	Risk Level	Premium Impact
M&A / Corporate	🔴 High	+20-40%
Real Estate	🔴 High	+15-30%
Family Law	🟡 Medium	Baseline
Immigration	🟢 Lower	-10-15%

Why? M&A and real estate firms handle wire transfers and sensitive deal documents — prime targets for business email compromise. Immigration practices handle PII but fewer financial transactions.

3. Claims History

Prior cyber incidents or claims can increase premiums 25-50%. Some carriers won't cover firms with recent claims. If you have claims history, carriers like Hartford and Coalition are typically more flexible.

4. Security Posture

Carriers now evaluate your cybersecurity setup. Having these can reduce premiums 5-15%:

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) on email and remote access
Endpoint detection and response (EDR)
Regular employee security training
Encrypted backup systems
Incident response plan

5. Coverage Limits & Deductible

Higher limits and lower deductibles = higher premiums. The sweet spot for most small firms:

Limits: $1M per occurrence / $1M aggregate
Deductible: $2,500–$5,000
Retention: $0 for breach response services

Carrier Price Comparison

Carrier	Starting Price	Best For
Hartford	$95/mo	Best overall value
Hiscox	$100/mo	Solo practitioners
Coalition	$110/mo	Tech-forward firms
CNA	$120/mo	Legal industry specialist
Chubb	$150/mo	Highest limits, premium coverage

💡 Pro tip: Don't just compare premiums — compare what's included. A cheaper policy with a $10,000 deductible and no breach response may cost more in the long run than a slightly more expensive policy with $0 retention on breach services.
